very well done nenad

[NenadM]

Thank you, Carl !!!

 

And next step is ... OMG ... much more fragile ... bilge pump ....

 

This time, I really need magic wrand or any kind of spell to do this

 

Drawings I made in preparing to start

good luck in finding the wand ... although, I don't know if you really need it

[CaptainSteve]

Her Majesty is looking very majestic, Nenad. Great work. I am anxiously waiting to see how you will do these bilge pumps. The pumps themselves should be easy to produce with some short lengths of plastic tubing. Maybe some pieces of wire from a spare paper-clip to make the pistons. As for the fly-wheels ... that will require a lot of your skills. Might I suggest some small curtain hoops, with short lengths of wire shaped to make the spirals inner parts. I look forward to seeing your solution.

(NOTE: Here's where Ed Tosti made his flywheels.)

Wonderful work, Nenad.  I can see what you mean about the pumps.  You're this far so I'm sure you can do the pumps.

[Piet]

You can do it Nenad, with your inventive mind it'll be easy, ummm, kinda.

 

Cheers,

[NenadM]

Hey Cap! Main problem ... it is hard to understand if you do not live in Serbia ... spend money for adequate tools is ... very strong attack to home budget ... considering I have student who study in oather town, paying him flat and schollarship, sending him money for living ... I just have to do everything with tools I have now. To be honest, here i nestrbia, a very few people can finance student in other town without credits od borrowing money, so I am happy I can do it from my regular income, but ... nothing stays for other purposes. In Serbia, average net earning is about 300$ per month, I make over 3000$, and still can not by me fine machine tools. Yes, I follow Ed`s log, and mainly stay withouth breath

Hello, piet, thank you for your supporting words

 

So ...

 

My crazy brain do not sleep, and here is first attepmt, just to get feeling about dimensions and material

I am not satisfied, so show goes on

 

See you one of this days

[NenadM]

Better, and it seems to be final solution

[NenadM]

Bilge pump - done.

I think this is important point. With this one, I finished all complex structures on main deck, so ...  only just a "few" easier parts to be made, and I get significant closer to masts spars sails and ropes

 

[mtaylor]

Amazing work, my friend.   So tiny yet has lots of detail.

Thank you, Denis. Repetitio is mater studiorum (lat)

[cog]

Very nice result on that scale. Your pumps turned out very well

[NenadM]

Attempt No 1

Overact ?

[IgorSky]

WOW, Nenad! Bravo! Well done!

[NenadM]

Thank you Igor

This was grandfather

And this is grandson

 

[NenadM]

Two more to go

If those two I would make better, I'll repeat this one

 

[cog]

Grandson must be on a diet, he has been spoiled by grandma!!

 

I have to warn you, you shall probably do better, as practice makes perfect. So maybe you will make all three multiple times ...

[NenadM]

And finally ...

[CaptainSteve]

Very nice, Nenad ... you'll LOVE it !!

[cog]

Perfect tool for small work, you will enjoy working with it.

[mtaylor]

Congratulations on the tool, Nenad.   As the others have said: "I think you will love it".
