HI ALL
I DECIDED TO REDO THE WATERWAYS TO INCLUDE A SCARF JOINT RATHER THAN A PLAIN BUTT JOIN.
THE SHAPE OF THE WATER WAY WAS ATTAINED WITH A PROFILE SCRAPER FASHIONED FROM A STANLEY BLADE.
CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF BEING FITTED.
CHEERS FOR NOW....MICK

HI ALL
THE RESULTS OF TODAYS ENDEAVOURS ARE ENCLOSED.
I FOLLOWED EDT'S DRAWING BUT CHANGED THE THREAD SIZE TO 3MM.
THE NUTS ARE EPOXIED ONTO THE THREADED RODS.
FAIRLY SIMPLE TO MAKE...BUT THE DRILLING HAS TO BE SPOT ON!!!
THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN SIX SMALL CLAMPS AND TWO LARGER ONES...BUT I HAD A SENIOR MOMENT AND SANDED THE WRONG END!!!!
OH WELL CAN ALWAYS MAKE SOME MORE.
PHOTOS AS USUAL AND THE LAST ONE PROVES THAT THEY DO WORK........
I MAY HAVE A GO AT THE MORE COMPLICATED VERSION WHILST IM IN TOOL BUILDING MODE......LEFT HANDED TAPS AND DIES ARE FAIRLY EASY TO GET HOLD OF.....ABOUT £22 FOR A DIE AND 2ND TAP........I CAN HIGHLY RECOMMEND DRILL SERVICE OF HORLEY........SHOULD PROVE A CHALLENGE CROSS DRILLING THOSE BRASS PIVOTS FOR THE THREADS!!!!
CHEERS FOR NOW......MICK

SOME MINOR WORKS HAVE OCCURRED RECENTLY ALTHOUGH NOT AS MUCH AS I WOULD HAVE LIKED.
SHIPS PUMPS ARE DONE......WOODEN PARTS FROM STEAMED PEAR , HANDLE BRACKET FROM BLACKEND BRASS AS IS DISCHARGE PIPE AND STRAPPING BANDS FROM BLACK PAPER.
ALL TEN EQUALLY SPACED HOLES HAVE BEEN DRILLED......THEY NOW NEED SQUARING OFF.
IVE ENCLOSED PHOTOS OFF THE SET UP FOR DRILLING WHICH IS A LITTLE HEATH ROBINSON BUT IT WORKS.
ONCE THE CAPSTAN IS FINISHED IT WILL BE TIME TO START PLANKING INBOARD...IN STEAMED PEAR.

The pumps are version 3......frustrating little buggers to get right!

yamsterman reacted to Javier Baron in Hello from spain to everybody
Hello everybody
My name is Javier Barón, I was born in 1948 and I live in Madrid, Spain. Unfortunately, I do not speak English fluently, although I am able to understand the texts written in your language.
Therefore, I use the Google translator and in advance I apologize for any errors that may be contained in my writings. I have been a modeller for many years and I am currently doing a series of miniatures of small work boats (I have just finished number 61 of the collection). The collection can be seen at barcosbaron.wordpress.com and although the texts are currently in Spanish, I have a nephew of mine who is bilingual busy translating them into English.
To complete my presentation I put some pictures of my latest work: a bisquine of Cancale in miniature (scale 1: 160).
If you find it interesting, I will publish some of the models in my collection in the gallery.
