CaptainSteve Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share #214 Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) Australia Day has come and gone for another year. Somehow, despite being a holiday weekend, I got less done than I'd hoped. My only excuse - I guess SOMEONE had to drink all that beer !! I'd been dreading the prospect of having to make holes thru the top of my rudders to fit the tiller arms. So that they wouldn't split apart, I clamped each into a bulldog clip when drilling. I started with a 0.1mm guide hole, then drilled again at 0.3mm and then 0.5mm. Incidentally, NOW would be a good time for me to mention that I DID actually check the angle where tiller-arm meets rudder BEFORE drilling. A quick test fit - and I couldn't resist a photo or two ... Anyone else notice how the white on boat and rudder is different ?? Apparently, I have two different tints of white paint on my desk... Needless to say, the swan-boat keels had a re-paint and are now drying.

CaptainSteve Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share #215 Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) Naturally, everything was going along a little TOO well ... disaster struck when one of the LASER-CUT whale-boat rudder parts broke in half ... Uncharacteristically for me, I wasn't really all that upset when it happened. Y'see, just a few days before, I'd discovered another whale-boat builder here on MSW, Salty Sea Dog. (Seriously, if you are building a small boat, you're gunna luv this guy !!!) Salty, when I first saw the rudder on your CW Morgan whale-boat, I was jealous ... ... now, since breaking one of mine, I'm thinking that I'd really like to re-model !!! Oh well, that will give me something to do next weekend ... . .. ... By the way, I've had a re-think on furniture. I've decided to fit rudders to both whale-boats and the Gig. I tried a quick test positioning with them placed onboard the boats today. For me at least, I just found them over-powering - even choosing to make new, more stream-lined whale-boat rudders. Of course, this is mainly due to the over-sized tiller arms which are on mine. So, now, the pinnace will be the only boat to have a stored keel. This brings me to a question which was also part of the above decision: Precisely, HOW should this be stowed ???

capnharv2 Posted January 28, 2014 Share #217 Posted January 28, 2014 CaptainSteve, Somewhere on my computer is a book on small boat (pinnace, gig, etc) handling, and I believe I saw something in there about rudder storage-but I can't find it yet. I would think the best place to store the rudder is someplace on the floors near the stern of the boat. I know that's where we store the rudder on our small sailboats. But, they may have had other plans that made more sense under the circumstances. Anyway, I'll look for that book some more in the next couple days. I must say, your ship's boats are looking very nice! Thanks, Harvey CaptainSteve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a fellow-member of the FakeCaptainsClub, with no actual naval experience (as per Rule 1.00a), I am considering lashing the tiller-arm along the back of my rudder, and then "lazily" laying it on the rear bench, against the wall of the cabinet. Kind of like this, with lashings to come ... EDIT: Another idea could be to do something similar, but hang it off the back stern of the pinnace (ie: instead of mounting vertically, it would be lashed horizontally). Yes, that rudder DOES look kinda rough. Only one coat had been applied when I took this pic. Sanding down and a couple more coats of paint to follow.

capnharv2 Posted January 28, 2014 Share #220 Posted January 28, 2014 CaptainSteve, If it were me (and I have no experience either, so anything is fine) I would lay the rudder flat on the seats. That way it can slide around (unless you lash it down) but not fall out. Also, I'd bring the tiller completely inside the hull. Anything to keep lines from snagging on the rudder and tiller. Also, if you're going to add oars, mast and booms, you could lash the rudder and tiller down with them. They wouldn't be needed until the oars and spars are needed anyway.

CaptainSteve Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share #224 Posted February 1, 2014 (edited) Another member of the Connie Club ...Welcome aboard, Markku. I spent the wee hours shaping a pair of whale-boat keels. I actually prefer this time of day for ship-modelling and find I usually get more done from around 2am on Sunday mornings. No work ... chores done ... the house is quiet ... As mentioned earlier, I chose to re-model these keels. They are loosely based upon the one I saw in Salty Sea Dogs' build. Okay, sure, I have deviated - yet again - from the MS plans. It isn't the first time, and I'm fairly confident (damn certain!!) it won't be the last. An outline was sketched onto some scrap pieces, cut roughly to size, and then Dremelled to get the desired shape (same process as for the tiller-arms above). I cheated a little when attaching the arms to rudders. Ideally, the keel tip would slot into a groove on the end of the arms. Instead, I trimmed a 2mm tip off my rudders, CA'd the tiller-arms (after checking the angle!!) in place, then re-attached the tip. EDIT: This pic proved to me just how handy a camera is as a ship-building tool. The angle of the second keel (on right) is out. I only noticed this after uploading the pic. It has since be corrected. I don't know how much more I will get done today. Apparently, I have a rather large bottle of beer to get through - courtesy of Jay.

CaptainSteve Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share #225 Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) They say you learn something new every day ... Well, today I learned TWO:- Pintle and Gudgeon. I can even put 'em in a sentence ... the pintle slots into the gudgeon providing a fulcrum (already knew that one!!) for the rudder. Having changed my mind with regards fitting/stowing the rudders, the two whale-boats and the Gig now have tillers/keels attached. I cheated with these by simply glueing them in place ... To represent pintle/gudgeon straps on these, I cut some thin (1/32") strips of wet'n'dry sandpaper ... These need to be cut to size and glued into position ....

CaptainSteve Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share #226 Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) Seeing as the keel for the pinnace will now be stowed, I wanted to show the pintle/gudgeon a little better. Two short (3mm) pieces of brass wire were wrapped inside strips of the wet'n'dry ... (Sorry. It's a bit fuzzy) Once the CA glue has set, holding my pintles in place, the pinnace keel will look like this ...

CaptainSteve Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share #227 Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) Onto the gudgeons. Searching thru a small pack of watch-parts (see Kit-Basher's), I found a pair of 1mm dia cogs. Again using thin strips of wet'n'dry .... Some fiddly attaching followed, again with strips ... The whale-boats ... ... and my boats are sooo very close to being done. Just furniture to consider now, starting with the Pinnace keel which has been "lazily" fixed in place.

I've been wearing tri-focal lens for years now and even then I still need a magnifying lens to read fine print. I use a clip-on 3 Doppler Ary eye loupe to do my model work. It clips on and it flips up and down as necessary with ease. The one I have, I bought many years ago, probable in the late 70's and it still works fine. Today, they go for about $80 odd today. I have no idea what I paid for mine.
