newbuilder101 Posted April 17, 2013 #332 Posted April 17, 2013 Every time I stop by your build I'm amazed - such precision on such a small piece! Absolutely spectacular! The capstan plans for my San Felipe show the bars placed on the deck around the capstan...I'm guessing to keep them out of the way until needed. Was this common practice on the British ships as well, or just something unique to Spanish ships or maybe just the manufacturer of the plans? Quote Sherry Every goodbye is the birth of a memory...

lagrayjr Posted April 18, 2013 #334 Posted April 18, 2013 Can you link the upper deck and lower deck capstans together for heavy lifting? Laman Quote
Dan Vadas Posted April 21, 2013 Author #335 Posted April 21, 2013 Thanks John, Druxey, lamarvalley, TJ, Michael, Sherry, Pat and Laman - much appreciated . where are the retaining pins for the capstan bars? I'll leave those for Remco . are those bolts properly threaded? Of course they are . Just kidding . The capstan plans for my San Felipe show the bars placed on the deck around the capstan...I'm guessing to keep them out of the way until needed. Was this common practice on the British ships as well, or just something unique to Spanish ships or maybe just the manufacturer of the plans? Common to all Sherry - They take up a LOT of space when in use. Can you link the upper deck and lower deck capstans together for heavy lifting? Yes, they are linked for that purpose.

Dan Vadas Posted April 22, 2013 Author #337 Posted April 22, 2013 where are the retaining pins for the capstan bars? I'll leave those for Remco . OK, I took Druxey's challenge after all - here's a prototype REPRESENTATION of a Bar Pin and "Chain" which took me about half an hour to make. I used 0.2mm (blackened) copper wire wrapped around a 0.25mm drill bit for the "chain", and made two "eyebolts" from the same wire : And here's an approximation of how it looks by the naked eye : I'm going to do another one using a simplified method (no actual Pin and Bolt, just one curled wire). If I can get it down to 5 minutes each and they look OK I'll do all 15. Stay tuned .

Dan Vadas Posted April 23, 2013 Author #346 Posted April 23, 2013 Thanks Mark, John, Joe, lamarvalley (you got a name? ), Grant and Remco. I think Danny is pushing me now to make 2.0 No need for a remake Remco, just drill a few more holes in the ones you've already made . Here's the final results - they look pretty realistic in real life. One tip - Birchwood Casey Brass Black doesn't work on copper (I should have remembered this). It turns black all right, but it flakes off straight away leaving a mess behind . I'll have to get some Liver of Sulphur for future work with copper : Danny mtaylor 1 Quote Cheers, Danny ________________________________________________________________________________ Current Build : Forced Retirement from Modelling due to Health Issues Build Logs : Norfolk Sloop HMS Vulture - (TFFM) HMS Vulture Cross-section 18 foot Cutter Concord Stagecoach 18th Century Longboat in a BOTTLE CARD Model Build Logs : Mosel Sydney Opera House (Schreiber-Bogen) WWII Mk.

mtaylor Posted April 23, 2013 #348 Posted April 23, 2013 Looks super nice, Danny. I think the next order of business is to design the "Druxey Challenge Cup". Maybe something at 1:48?

Dan Vadas Posted April 23, 2013 Author #349 Posted April 23, 2013 Thank you Pat, Mark and Crackers. You may have opened yourself up here mate; what's the next challenge going to be? Compared to the bar pins, quite an easy one - the Capstan Pawls. These prevent the capstan from turning back, they were very simple things that were pushed into place with the foot of the sailor nearest to them. Later ships had more complex arrangements. These were made from a piece of 1/16" square brass, filed down to 1/32" for most of their length - they step up to full height on the end that locks into the capstan whelps. They are held in place with a 3/4" bolt. Note how one pawl locks into place whilst the other is almost halfway across a whelp - this gave them two bites with a smaller rotation between. I've also made the two for the upper capstan with these. That concludes the work on the capstans for now - all that's left is to fit them, which I'll do after I've placed the Guns in this area (I'm still waiting on the barrels before I can start on them). Next job will be the Rudder and associated works.

druxey Posted April 23, 2013 #351 Posted April 23, 2013 Caramba!!!! I only expected the pins in their holes, not their chains as well, Dan. You've exceeded the challenge; which was only in jest, by the way! Well done. Now, what fiendish detail can I think of?

Padeen Posted April 23, 2013 #352 Posted April 23, 2013 I have only one word that comes to mind: waw! Is this even possible? Well done Danny... The chains were there so that the bar pins would not be lost, right? Will you make a working rudder assembly?

I knew that Druxey . The chains were there so that the bar pins would not be lost, right? Correct . Will you make a working rudder assembly? Yes Adeline - it's not very difficult to do, apart from the rigging to the ship's wheel. Rudder The rudder is made from two main pieces of timber which are "tabled" together. I've made a simplified joint, there should be alternating tables in each piece but as only one side is seen at a time the difference isn't noticeable : Danny Quote Cheers, Danny ________________________________________________________________________________ Current Build : Forced Retirement from Modelling due to Health Issues Build Logs : Norfolk Sloop HMS Vulture - (TFFM) HMS Vulture Cross-section 18 foot Cutter Concord Stagecoach 18th Century Longboat in a BOTTLE CARD Model Build Logs : Mosel Sydney Opera House (Schreiber-Bogen) WWII Mk.
