Sailor1234567890 got a reaction from WackoWolf in HMS Victory Display Setup
Different scales but very close.... That might cause problems while you build no? Or would you build them each individually? I love the idea but I think if I were to do that, I'd build them to the same scale. Just my $0.02.

That stove just makes it. What a little jewel.

I spent 6 months of my career sailing lakers. MV JEAN PARISIEN and MV ALGOMARINE. This is 15 years or so ago now. We used to race the steam powered boats. No way we could keep up with them. Steam is such a cool motive force. I'm thankful that once I joined the navy I was able to sail a steamer. Big old diesel boilers and steam turbines. Lots of power. Tres tres cool.

Here's my brother and I milling strips. A stack of infeed on my left and a stack of outfeed just visible on my right.
Much bigger setup though.
I love that you're coming to the same solutions others have come to. Funny how we don't have to reinvent the wheel all the time.

Sailor1234567890 got a reaction from NenadM in Cutty Sark by NenadM
Yes,I think that is one of the coolest pictures of her. She's like a model in a diorama, there's more than just the ship all sails set. Her jib boom is run in, the boats are away and the falls hooked together ready for the boat's return, a tarpaulin spread over the quarterdeck…… Lots to look at in that picture.

As someone with a bit (small bit) of time serving in submarines, this is a VERY cool build.

I'd love to do Aggy one day. Beautiful ship.

Nice work. She's such a beautiful ship, she's worth doing over to get just right.

That triworks is VERY cool. I don't know if you've seen it but if you log on to the woodenboat forum at www.woodenboat.com/forum you'll see a thread about the MORGAN and her restoration. There is a gentleman who volunteers at the Seaport museum and brings his camera in. In fact, here's the link to that thread: http://forum.woodenboat.com/showthread.php?109593-Charles-W-Morgan-Restoration-A-Volunteer-s-Perspective-1
It's a fairly lengthy thread but absolutely FILLED with detailed photos of her as well as other interesting things at Mystic Seaport Museum. Video of old single lung engines, big slow speeds, lots of cool stuff. The gentleman who took all the pictures I believe took on the restoration of her galley stove to the point of replacing cast feet or something if I recall correctly. I'm sure if you haven't seen it yet, I've just ruined about 4 hours of your Saturday night browsing it. Beautiful job you've got going there. Keep it up.
Cheers,
Daniel

Sailor1234567890 got a reaction from DenPink in Sovereign of the Seas by andy - FINISHED - Mantua/Sergal
I have never really had much of an appreciation for just how beautiful these ships were. The detail is outstanding. Imagine spending that kind of money on mere decoration in today's world? Unheard of. I'm glad we have the opportunity to see and build these ships as models because we'll never see another full sized version like this again.

Brings back memories. I remember working in the tunnel with the tunnelmen one night. Got paid overtime for that work. Lost a shovel to the belt. Just ripped it out of my hands and ended up in a coal pile somewhere. I wonder if anyone ever found the handle and blade in a boiler or something.

Somewhere I have drawings of the internal workings of ALGOMARINE's unloading gear. I had to draw them out as part of my cadet time. I'd pass on trying to model that as well.

I have no idea what there is under the casing on that class of sub but in our boats, there are so many lines, pipes, tubes, wires etc that it's hard to keep track of it all. Greasy and cramped when you do a casing crawl. Submarines sure are an interesting craft.

Sailor1234567890 got a reaction from pete48 in Herreshoff Buzzards Bay 14' by pete48 - FINISHED - 3/4" = 1' - SMALL
This was the my first attempt at lofting, probably 15 years ago or so. I wasn't terribly successful, mostly because I didn't have any battens in my university dorm room. My next attempt, a 13 foot CATSPAW dinghy in full scale went much better.

Sailor1234567890 got a reaction from daHeld73 in HMS Bellona 1760 by SJSoane - Scale 1:64 - English 74-gun - as designed
A 74 is probably one of the most beautiful sailing warships ever built. Big enough to be powerful but not so big as to be lumbering like a three decker. Fast and handy with plenty of firepower. Just what the doctor ordered.

Your pics show a project so far out of my league. It's nice to see others builds though. Maybe one day I'll do VICTORY.
