Adapting DRO Devices To Shop Tools
BANYAN replied to Thistle17's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Thanks for sharing Joe, I will be interested in your final comments as I have been 'dabbling' with more 'manually controlled' methods of repeatability (all too complicated for my liking to date). cheers Pat -

Thanks Dave; appreciate your comments. Some further small updates; I think the photos show all. First is the completed (minus firehose/rack) of the Downton Pump area; then the foredeck with chain blackened, and the funnel with its stay chains and finally the painted purchase winches. cheers Pat- 993 replies

I am glad to hear I am not the only one Keith - I find that having just become proficient with a tool, jig or technique, I then put that aside until the next model by which time I have to relearn a lot of it again. I am envious of those who can master these things and simply step back into the process without issues. BTW I like the stops, mic adjuster etc fitted to your Byrnes saw, have you covered these in another forum as I would be interested in learning more about them. cheers Pat

Very nice work Greg, you are showing some excellent detail (and talent) with this model. Those nets must have severely restricted ship's speed when deployed? cheers Pat

A very nicely faired hull Keith; this will certainly give you the nice solid base for the planking you were after. cheers Pat

Jeffery, a little later than what you need for your period build, and Gregory for info, the only formula/rule-of-thumb I have found is for clippers (I knew I had seen something somewhere in my reading ) . E. Armatage McCann in his series of articles published in the Model Ship Builder magazine (originally in the The Ship Modeller magazine), titled "Rigging of Clipper Ships" - part 3, page 10 provides: "The steeve was 4 to 5-inches to the foot" using the length the bowsprit extending from the bed to the cap. Note this was for clipper ships of the 1850s. cheers Pat

Thanks for the feedback and confirming my thoughts Rob; much appreciated. Now I just have to settle on the final positions but I will leave that until I am well into the rigging plan. cheers Pat
