captainbob Posted December 17, 2015 Share #64 Posted December 17, 2015 She's coming along nicely. You said, "I make my straps from mild steel wire that I run though a bead roller to flatten it out." I've been looking for model sized roller to flatten wire. What one are you using? Bob mtaylor and Omega1234 2 Quote Every build is a learning experience.

steamschooner Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share #65 Posted December 17, 2015 Thanks for the comments everyone. Bob, The one I use is one that was built for automotive work.

steamschooner Posted December 23, 2015 Author Share #66 Posted December 23, 2015 Spent a little time in the shipyard and got a couple of things done. First is the anchor davit, which I will need to blacken or paint. I turned my masts, painted them and installed a couple of mast lights that I had made for this build. captainbob, tarbrush, mtaylor and 2 others 5 Quote Zipper hydroplane(Miss Mabel ) finished John Cudahy Scratch build 1/4" scale Steam Tug 1914 Steam Tug Scratch build from HAMMS plans 1820 Pinky "Eagle" Scratch build from; American Ships Their Plans and History Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steamschooner Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share #67 Posted December 31, 2015 I posted this in another area as well. I am working on some of the deck gear/fittings and this is one of the puzzles that has come up. photo shows the forward side of one side of the H bit with what looks like a pawl mounted on the right. Than just below and to the right is a warping head ( looks like it has whelps ) The other stuff is part of the steam gear that was also on the fordeck. That's another project in itself. This is what I think I might be looking at.

jbshan Posted January 1, 2016 Share #70 Posted January 1, 2016 You should probably add one more mast light as three white lights is the correct signal for a tug and tow. I was just browsing through tugs on Navsource and saw masts with three.

steamschooner Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share #71 Posted January 1, 2016 jbshan: Yes now days three lights are required. The time frame of 1900-1930 there were only two mast lights ( see photo at the begining of my log ). The laws did not change until later, the Cudahy(now the Henry Foss ) likely had three when she was lost in 1952 Omega1234 and mtaylor 2 Quote Zipper hydroplane(Miss Mabel ) finished John Cudahy Scratch build 1/4" scale Steam Tug 1914 Steam Tug Scratch build from HAMMS plans 1820 Pinky "Eagle" Scratch build from; American Ships Their Plans and History Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega1234 Posted February 17, 2016 Share #79 Posted February 17, 2016 Hi Steamschooner You may say that you've only done a "little bit", but it's often the smallest details that give the biggest impact. In this case, your skylight looks great and, yes, I agree that those brass rods would've been a pain to fit, but well worth the effort. Nice job!
