Well shaped, Nils. I thought I couldn't deprive you of that vital information

Hi Nils
Exquisite bench! Just like your build

Mirabell61 got a reaction from Piet in SS Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse 1897 by Mirabell61 - FINISHED - scale 1:144 - POF - first German four stacker of the Norddeutscher Lloyd line
Thanks very much Bob,
yet I`m a bit anxoius to start the soldering of those tiny, thin parts. In this case even a drop of solder would be too much, I am thinking of using tiny portions of soft solder paste (flux already mixed by) in scarce limited dosis aplication. I remember using this once for gas tourch soldering 0,4 mm brass railing wire to stanchions on the "Heinrich Kayser" steamer model. Will do some trials first....

Carl,
thanks for your kind comment...., I´ve been thinking of that alternative in using CA as well, in fact the manufacturer of these parts recommends the use of super glue..

Thanks Bill,
much appreciated your suggestion,
think I´ll sacrifice one of the etched parts for trials, if I should loose confedence, the CA stands ready anyhow...

Thank you very much John,
your compliment is much appreciated, and I saw you were catching up with the build log, thanks for looking in.
Today I assembled one of those benches ( fiddely stuff I must say ! ), but I think its acceptable with a bit more routine it will do.... Trust Bill and Carl were right with their recommendation to avoid soldering (thanks again Bill and Carl) , The CA connection of parts is strong enough for this.
Also thanks to those for all the " likes"

Denis,
trust now all vents in raw, basic shape are done. There are so many, that I had to make a plan, which and how many go where...... For the length adjustments there is a bit surplus tube on every vent. The pics show the variety of sizes, tube / bowl diameters and raw lengths. The plan though is not in scale ( only to give an overview)
Some of the tubes go through the boats deck and remain visible looking on the promenade deck, some tubes will be blended behind vertical claddings on the promenade deck

Update
making vents
have been producing vents in different sizes these days, the pics show only 39 and there are 39 more to do (total 78)
The time consuming part is to get the radial hole to size of a close fit around the tube for good soldering with a gas torch
I`ve never used my Dremel (and different diameter grinding bits) so much before

Hi Piet,
yes sorry, I should have explained a bit better.......
The pic now should be self explaining. The sample bag foot button in the middle still has the fastening device..

Build log part 40
(update, making the vents)
starting with the various number of bowl vents to begin with.....
Here bowels for the 3 smallest sizes with holes in them to solder the appropriate vent-tubes in. The bowls are made from steel sheet bag-feet buttons, after removing the bag- fastening clip devices....

Mirabell61 got a reaction from EJ_L in 3-D Armenia by SalD – Hudson River Sidewheeler, 1847
lovely 3D rendering Sal,
Congratulations,
I wish I could do such skilled and awsome designing with aid of my PC....
I read in your introduction to this project that you are having at least 30 years of Auto Cad experience, and that shows....,
Unfortunately during my active business time I never found someone who was able to describe the way of 3D design thinking in understandable way to me, versa the "old" three views drawings during my time of career. I believe the 3D design is a complete different approach in thinking is`nt it ?
