good afternoon Eberhard, many thanks for your kind suggestion to reference literature for early marine engines. I`ll try to see if the one or other publication can be made available, and trust to find something helpful there. Nils

I built the standplate from several wood formates and stained them in Cherry, but yet without a silk varnish coating and also the two pedestals again produced and shortend from old candle holders. Internal M4 spindles with nuts and washers hold the model safely through the keel ("backbone") The hight of the pedestals allows the centerboard to be swung down 90° I`m intending to build in a dummy tucker motor (1 cylinder glow head diesel), but except for my preliminary hand scetch, I`m still looking for a suitable marine engine I can adopt dimensions from. Does anybody have an idea where to find that information ? Nils

beautiful look Peta, I noticed on the pics ( your Post # 96, 97 and others) that some of the laser burnt treenailing had faded away a bit due to sanding in bow and stern area... how did you manage to make them visible again ? great job ! Nils

Hi Zbip, Welcome to MSW, enjoy your stay, also thanks for sharing that fantastic Video, made with a camera on a pole stick, from outboard with 360° function, wow ! It is a mazing that the camera, stick and certain things can be made invisible, never heard that before Nils

Welcome to the build Jason, glad to have you on board, and many thanks for looking in and catching up. Little Caspar is doing so well, one can see the improvement and also the growth from week to week (yesterday 10 weeks, since birth). He is still "leaking" a bit, but also that will be soon overcome... Nils

Getting further on with the ribs... shaping, saw-cutting, a bit fairing to fit, glueing, I get about 4 per day placed. The lead weight I still had, it was orignaly intended as an internal weight block for a schooner some years ago. Nils

An improvement for taking off inner lapstrake contours of the hullplanking...... Yesterday had a vist by a freind and fellow MSW member, we meet now and then to exchange thoughts on our builds and general building techniqes... Many thanks to Siggi52 and appreciations, for introducing his contour gauge that he lent to me, to try it out, and that will make the production of the interior hull ribs with improved contour quality, vs. my humble methode shown here earlier I tried it out today and am very pleased with the results. It also saves time. Nils

Hi Bruce, I intend to install the things that were necessary for this type of working boat in general, such as : Cockpit planked floors, well-box for live fish, motor well, both access form above. Diesel tuck-tuck motor (Dummy) 1-2 cylinders, gear clutch, reverse gear, with large flywheel, machine exhaust Cabin with 2 berths, locker, ladder, cast iron oven with exhaust over cabin roof, fresh air vent, perhaps a small foldable table. As it is a workboat, it will mainly be held in varnished wood The motor pics I borowed from the web. I intend to to work some outcuts into the main cockpit floor to enable view to the stone Ballast beneath, and perhaps into deck /cabin to view underneath /resp inside cabin Unfortunately I have no other finish details or plans (pics) available at this time, other than the enclosed....

Many thanks Geert and Bruce, Geert, it realy seems to work... , there will be a sectional bulkhead in combination with the two first half-frames I`m working on this monent. Behind it the main mast will be situated, and in front of that bulkhead the cabin fits in, with entry from above Bruce, I`m pleased that you are enjoying the build. The little one is so sweet, he`s laying at my feet at the desk in my hobby room, although he still "leaks", sometimes also on the carpet, if we`re not fast enough to recognise what he has in mind.
