These cooking stoves were in reality quite complex pieces of engineering, that were also designed to minimise the risks from handling open fire in an environment tremendously susceptible to fire-hazards. Well done !

Wonderful work! It is so realistic that there is no way of telling it apart from the real thing.

Hi Amalio

You mentioned you found the brick material in a previous post in Alamania (Germany?)   Did it come already shaped as small bricks or did you make the bricks with some material that you got from them?   I have made silicone molds then formed bricks made of plaster with some success, but would like to learn more on how you achieved such nice finished pieces.   I suppose wood could work, but the texture you show is superior to wood even at our scales.

 

Thanks

Allan

I think there are several cottage-industry manufacturers in Germany that offer such bricks made from polymer-clay in model-railway scales. I can't put my finger on the company's name, but I seem to remember that there is also one that sells silicone moulds to make them yourself.

Presumably for a roasting spit. In the Danish Rigsarkivet they have numerous drawings of galleys, not only Danish ones, and some show mechanisms for a mechanical turning of the spits.

 

The galley is a major fire-hazard on a (wooden) ship and seems to have preoccupied significantly the navy responsibles, judging by the numbers of drawings and contemporary models that have survived.

Thinking about it, and as the lowest hook is actually at the level of the hearth, the hooks may also serve to install/store a 'couvre feu' (curfew), to prevent embers from falling out. These would have been probably just sheets of iron. Amalio will know probably more ...

Beautiful work as always, Amalio!

 

I like those c-clamps that you are using. Can you tell me who makes them and where you got them?
