S/S Warkworth by Moony - early Steam Collier built in iron 1875 - 1/48 PoB


Recommended Posts

Jan,

The small table saw I have has dado washers which make the blade wobble a pre-determined distance depending the washer I use.  So usually, it's just one pass.  So if you set the board.as shown, you should be able to get what you want.  Use the miter to get it through the cut and keep things straight.

Hello followers &;friends!

 

At the moment I got unlucky with my results and didn't shiw anything to pubicity. I put two sets of former plans to the dustbin due to several failers in the decks bow. It was not parallel to each other, not rectangular to the CL, and so on... so I got more and more frustrated...

Ti keep it short&simple:
The bending of the deck I tryed to draw in the formers with a curved ruler they don't fit good.

 

Edit: I'll place two drillings for crosshairs to aim for the CenterLine precisely.

So I'm going to start to build a "wooden decks beam ruler" fitzing my drawinboard on myself. Here today's first rough hand scetch:

Hy Mark, thanks a lot this is very helpfull - I was so preoccupied by the decks rounding that I didn't answer - sorry for this! When I assamble the new sawing blade  hopefully everything will be easier.

At the moment I read "Old time Steam Coasting" by Spargo & Thomason with a good benefit to several details of the boiler or engine room and to the accomodation in coasters.

So I figured out the in the pre 1900 coasters the ash was  brought out of the boilerroom by adding it into a bucket . And lifting it to the deck through the vent  by a winch. So there must be a hook or eyelet or dee to suspent a set of pulleys in the top of the vent's inlet...

 

So what do you think about my here added my 1st scetch?

Hi Jan,

 

never seen that way of ash-removal, but why not, it looks very interesting and functional  ;)

Moony, I think that would be a very difficult and time consuming way of removing the ash. If the bucket was dropped I think there would be a risk that it would fall sideways and jam in the vent. There would be a lot of ash to shift so my bet would be that it would be done through a hatch.

 

Keep up the good and interesting work. :)

Thanks for your answers & motivation power giving within towards me,  guys!
But as I told you still in the 20th and 30th it was done like this in older coasters not having added with a special ash hatch to cuck it outboard through the hull's side. I'll figure out the exact page where I read it - it is allways the same, isn't it?
You know it,
You know you read it,
You know the book you read it,

...but on what page or in what story this special factum was told to you? You can't remember...

Ian, your argument mad me thinking if the procedure would make sense... as I used to ask:

a ) Why should we act in this way? (Is it done in the most secure, effective, fastest & cheapest way?)

b ) Why should it be constructed in this way? (Does it fit in the place it is put in - i.e. Does the crane collidate with anything in its

      pivoting range?)

bb ) Could it have been constructed at this time in this way? (Ancorsteamwinch on deck of the Victory!)

c ) Does it make sense to work in this way at all? (i.e.: May there have been an ash hatch running comfortablely beside the boiler down through the doublebottom right into the sea not annoying any 1st Class passangers - as they may have used it in boilerroom No.1 on RMS Titanic?  ;)  )


On the side of the furnanche openings there were no hatches - the only openigs up through the deck are the vents... and nobody (i.e. engeneers!!!)) would like the ash to fall on the oily engine when brought arround the boiler to be lifted up through the skylight of the engine room.

What do you think is my idea right?

Hello,

 

after several month filled with job, illness, divertissments (i.e. addtivly kitchen furniture manufacturing  :huh:  ) and some of trials of redrawing I can now bring some further news during the next days...

 

I was very happy to find a yard model of S/S Warkworth...

 

also something to do with Newcastel on Tyne  :rolleyes: 

and she was a singel screw steamship :wub: ,too.

but it was her  :(  a later bearer of the same name... :huh:

 

So let's look forward to the awaited progress:

 

  1. new Mr McSale in 1/48
  2. trial of the deck's beam stencil
  3. redrawing of the formers

 

Hope you all are well,

 

Yours

Okay 

 

We have got a Breadth moulded from 27 feet (page 1 #1) 

 

when we multiplicate this with around a food of 304.8mm so we get 

 

8,229.6mm 

 

so we start to devide this through our scale ratio of 48

 

so Sesamstreat's Count will teach us "So we'll get 171.45mm at the very end!"

 

But!

Here I foud what Ithought it was lost:

 

reelofplansa0o8js7glw.jpg

 

ad it looks very well:

 

breadthfj6wkop17r.jpg

 

and lets crosscheck:

 

304.8mm for a foot brought to scale by deviding with 48 gives 6,35 mm to us...

 

multiplicated with 5 we got 31.75 mm

 

itfits9kyrx4wbli.jpg

 

:D

 

...but so the job I gave to the guy in the copyshop is now prooved to be devastantingly realised - and I can't change it for a right done one!!!

 

Now I can go there and I'll have to redo this work on my own.
