"Captain's choice" was pretty much an accepted fact by most navies of the period. Some didn't use the "book" but relied on their own experience and even testing. Same for the mast angle. They'd test it for how they preferred it for performance and as the load changed due to stores being consumed, change it as needed.

I've been looking at those intakes for the engines. I'm thinking they're actually an air filtration system where the air is spun, the dirt and dust goes out an opening and the clean (for some value of clean) goes into the engine. Any one know?

I have yet to not be amazed at your work. Just wonderful in every way.

Sequence of photos in a gallery album
mtaylor replied to Mahuna's topic in How to use the MSW forum - **NO MODELING CONTENT**
For a new post, just put the cursor where you want the pic (after you have uploaded the pics, of course). Then go down to the pictures and hover over the thumbnail and you see "+" and a trashcan. Hit the "+" and the picture will go to where the cursor is. Hit the trashcan and it deletes it. -
If you're going to paint the gunwales, you drill through it and the supports. Then just sand an paint.

Richard hasn't been on since he posted on the 20th. Did he send you an email address? Otherwise Google his name and address to find it.

MS USS Constitution Mast Sequence and rope ladders
mtaylor replied to jgilchrist800's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
John, There's no hard and fast rules on this. Look some build logs and see what others have done. There's no hard fast rules and just figure out which one will be best for you. Mounting the masts and yards before putting on the ship is usually a good idea. You can do some rigging at this point such as foot ropes, etc As for finishing, there's several ways... one mast at a time, standing rigging on all, etc. then go to the next. Or you can install all masts then do the rigging. Standing rigging should definitely be done first as it will lock the masts into position. There's two methods... bow to stern or stern to bow. -
Daniel Dusek is trying to rework all their kits and from what I've seen on the build logs, he's doing a great job of it.

Interests and life do change over time so have fun with the piano. Like Carl, it's a pity we can't hear it. I do love the display you did.

There are about three builds of this boat. Not sure if looking at the logs will answer your question though. https://modelshipworld.com/topic/1998-sea-of-galilee-boat-by-barehook-scale-116-pof https://modelshipworld.com/topic/2302-the-sea-of-galilee-boat-by-capn-rat-fink-mario-finished-124-shell-method/ https://modelshipworld.com/topic/9951-sea-of-galilee-boat-by-wintergreen-sort-of

That is probably the reason.

Love the pictures. Beautiful trip you're having. I'm thinking that little engine might be yard engine for moving cars around.

Patrick, Maybe it's that you learned some tricks with Genesis and now don't have to have the learning curve? Sapphire looks pretty complex to me.

Thanks for the comments and likes. As brief update, the small one is being started over again as there's some issues (probably I'm the issue) with the thinness of the woods for the jig and smaller curves for the frames. I'm reworking and rethinking this as I plank the larger one. And then there's life getting in the way in good way. Ran into an old friend where I used to work and we're seeing each other.

Ron, Give some thought to tossing out that blade as you don't know how sharp it is. With Thurston being closed, you can get them from these folks: https://www.malcosaw.com/ If you don't a copy, here's this which is great for figuring tooth count vs. wood thickness: Byrnes Saw Operation.pdf

Wonderful work and the video is great.

Salty Dog, try annealing the brass before bending it. I would think that annealing would soften the brass and make it easier to roll. But by all means test on some scrap first.
