very nicely done as usual.  I'm glad you got the challenge too.  That will be a great guide for all of us.  Yes Piet, I'm boiling oil as we speak...

Just catching up Remco. Excellent work on the bricks and the pots. Most convincing modelwork, and soot.

What can I say? I´m just a little girl on a toy shop with my mouth agape and shining eyes. Yours is really one of the best I´ve seen on details ever, and the bricks, wish I can do something like that someday. For now, I´m just admiring. Beautiful, amazing, well, u know your work is beyond the top. I´ll follow.

I would think that the key to the Spirits room would be vastly more important. You wouldn't want to lose that!  Few if any would want to steal cartridges or gunpowder from the magazine. If on the other hand, they got into the Spirits room with that misplaced key.......

Hi Remco,

 

Perfection. It is really interesting to see this earlier brick style stove. With my architecture background, it seems so incongruous to build bricks on top of a wooden frame, rather than a solid foundation in the ground. Would any engineers out there be able to calculate the weight of this relative to an iron stove?

 

Best wishes,

 

Mark

Thanks all for your kind words. You are welcome to come over and cook a meal on the stove.

 

I've been busy with a side project, inspired by Geatans tool drawers I decided to rebuild one of my tool cabinets and upgraded a 5 drawer Ikea cabinet to a 9 drawer tool cabinet.

After that is was time to add more planking (more than I had intended before I started on the hearth. And making bulkheads. Here the first is ready with added small strips to act as rebates

The bulkheads are made from 20 cm strips, glued and then cut to size. I think this works better than my previous approach by gluing each strip in situ. Along the way I needed to make the upper deck hook to test fit the bulkhead.

That drawer set is fantastic.  This is coming from someone who's Dremel, hand tools, sanding supplies, Optivisor, clamps, etc. all fit into a small tackle box to take with me when I travel to work.

No can do John ;), but I can tell you it was a nice little project I can recommend to every one. Those shallow drawers are just great. Next to this I use Ikea's little boxes to store other tools and supply's unfortunately they don't sell this type any more, a real shame. I'm still looking for a better way to organize my sanding paper, keeping them in a big stack is not working...

 

post-20-0-02550600-1391975235_thumb.jpeg

 

So back to making bulkheads, I use wooden peg's under the stanchions to temporary fit and adjust until I'm getting a fit I like.

The cook's working space was not very big. Behind the riding bitt's there is another bulkhead drawn on my plan I thin I'll make a nice cupboard for the cook to store his pot's, pan's and other tools.

Excellent bulkheads Remco!

 

Can I ask for a closer view of that door? (both sides) and a silly question, do you "caulked" or tint the joints of the strips that make together the bulkheads?

 

Happy week ahead!

 

 

Daniel.

Thanks all.

Sure Daniel, the joints are tinted with graphite to enhance the joints. Otherwise the joints are almost invisible and the bulkhead will look like its made from one piece.

Time to make some lanterns, the mullions were completely prepared on the table saw assembling was quite simple, once complete they were sanded down to the appropriate thickness

Here they are temporary in place, I still need to add a vent but I'm not sure how long to make it, TFFM describes it should clear the deck head. Should it face away from the bulkhead or go up to the upper deck, some advice would be appreciated how I need to interpret this.

Thank you Druxey, Alex, Max.

 

More doors, more bulkheads make up the carpenters store room and the carpenters cabin.

There's also one between the bitts creating a small workspace for the cook. Let's see what I can do with that, I think a big cupboard makes sense.

Good to know that I am not the only one to do things like that. The tools and work on the ship do look rather crisp.

By Jove, you are right, the lock is on the hinge side - - - must be a new fang-dangled invention.  Is there a patent on it???  All kidding aside, it all looks fantasimacorigig.  Now - - cupboards for the galley would really be the cat's meow.  Go for it and with working hinges and "stuff" inside - - - I'm the ships cook and need them  ;)
