Bedford got a reaction from Retired guy in Miss Caroline by Bedford - Scale 1:8 - model of my full size build
The stanchions, bearers and cleats for the stern sheets are now in so the next job is varnishing everything I won't be able to get to once the planks are glued down

Stern sheets made, now to do 4 more cleats for the sheet bearers then I can finish of this part of the build and varnish out the hull then glue all the sheet planks in. Then onto the breast hooks etc.

Thanks Michael, I'll have to see what I can find in leather!
You've been pretty quiet lately, nice to see you back on deck.

Bow sheets cut and bearers glued in, I have to varnish under the sheets before I can glue them in

I scraped the hull of the full size version while getting it on the trailer when I sailed it on Tuesday so I had to get the white paint out to effect the repair so while it was out...........

Bedford reacted to BANYAN in SMS WESPE 1876 by wefalck – FINISHED - 1/160 scale - Armored Gunboat of the Imperial German Navy - as first commissioned
Beautiful work Eberhard; miniature perfection You don't happen to have a spare around do you?
Just the other night I cam across a reference somewhere which I will need to find for you again; unfortunately just as I found it our woeful National Broadband Network (NBN) which is MANDATORY her can you believe, played its usual trick of losing connection).
Hopefully I can find it again and I will copy, not that is much except a description which describes a similar horizontal tabl;e (as they called it) for communicating with the engine room - 1940s I think and it was under a patent listing I think.
cheers
Pat
p.s. This is another one I had found c1858, similar bit a little more refined. Not sure where I found this as it was in the days I hadn't realised how important to note the source withing the image title - possibly from one of the contemporary 'The Repertory of Patent Inventions ' periodicals?
I will need to try and track down the other one referenced above, but not so confident in finding it as it was one of those random things that popped up while doing another search.

Engine-Room Telegraphs
On the ‘official’ lithograph of SMS WESPE from the early 1880s an unsual form of engine-room telegraph was drawn. It has a horizontal dial. In the earliest known photography of the ship during fitting-out, the telegraphs had not yet been installed.
A short while ago I discovered during a visit to Oslo in the Norsk Maritimt Museum a very similar telegraph on display. Unfortunately, the legend is not readable on my image. I seem to remember that the inventor or patentee was named. A search on the Internet and in my library did not produce anything, so I would be grateful, if anyone has an idea, who the inventor or patentee might have been.
Horizontal engine-room telegraph in the Norsk Maritimt Museum, Oslo
The telegraph was redrawn from the lithography in order to serve as a working drawing with measures to guide the lathe operation.
The original lithography and working drawing
The whole telegraph seems to have been made from brass and accordingly the model was turned from brass. The indicator arm and follower were made from flattened brass wire and the ‘wooden’ handle built up from PVA glue.
The two engine-room telegraphs at their place
SMS WESPE had two telegraphs, one for the starbord and port engine each, of this early twin-screw naval vessel.
To be continued soon(?) ...

It feels like building the real boat, I'm doing pretty much everything the same way only it's nice to be able to pick it up and turn it over or around!
