mtaylor Posted April 27, 2018 Author #2675 Posted April 27, 2018 Here's a pic of the one that the wood work and brick work are completed in "extreme" closeup. I see that I need a bit of touch up paint.. hmm.. missed that I did when I effected repairs after the glue pulled the paint off. And there's dust all over it. I took the picture outside so there's some "hotspots"... Needs the two brass pots and also the top with chimney. I bought the brass to today so I'll start pushing my envelope tomorrow or as soon as the other fireplace is done. These are more of a test to push myself harder. I'm not unhappy with them.... just realize I need to push a bit harder. robdurant, Captain Poison, paulsutcliffe and 32 others 35 Quote Mark "The shipwright is slow, but the wood is patient." - me Current Build: Past Builds: La Belle Poule 1765 - French Frigate from ANCRE plans - ON HOLD Triton Cross-Section NRG Hallf Hull Planking Kit HMS Sphinx 1775 - Vanguard Models - 1:64 Non-Ship Model: On hold, maybe forever: CH-53 Sikorsky - 1:48 - Revell - Completed Licorne - 1755 from Hahn Plans (Scratch) Version 2.0 (Abandoned)

mtaylor Posted April 30, 2018 Author #2682 Posted April 30, 2018 Thanks for the likes, comments, and encouragement. These two parts were harder than I thought they'd be but worth the effort for the confidence even if they won't be seen once the foredeck is in place. Steak? BBQ? Either works for me. Although I'm sure the standard fare at that time was something less wonderful. Well.. the stoves/fireplaces are just about there. The chimneys currently aren't glued into place as with the work on the upper deck, I don't want to risk damage. But I did put one into position to see how it looks. I'm thinking mission accomplished. There is a small pile of scrap now in the bin from the failures but I'm very pleased with the final result. I still need to do the two pots per so will hit the mill hopefully tomorrow along with some planning for the next steps.... <looks at list of things to do><shrugs><pours fresh cup of coffee> Hmm... ship's boats it looks like... 3 of them stacked and secured over the hatches forward of the main mast.

mtaylor Posted May 3, 2018 Author #2691 Posted May 3, 2018 Thanks for the likes and comments. Stoves are on hold for a few days. The cutters on the lathe need to be sharper so I took a new and an old one over to the local sharpening guy.. I told him what I was doing and he's interested so hopefully by the weekend I can be cutting cookware. He's actually going to deliver as he wants to see the ship and also check the cut on the lathe. I put a small barrel (4 feet tall or so) next to each stove just for some interest. Not sure if any of this will be visible but I'll know it's there. Also starting a rigging table and did some testing. It looks like I'll be able to have access to the foot of the main mast for rigging so I added the eyebolts around it. I'll double check before I start doing the forecastle. On 4/29/2018 at 11:02 PM, lmagna said: Come on Mark! TWO stoves AND an oven on a medium sized fifth rate frigate.

SUPER SUPER SUPER job on the stoves and those brass hoods look exactly right! Your tenacity truly paid off! Ovens were common on French ships... As for these stoves, I doubt that they anywhere near the capacity that the Victory had. As I recall, each pot is about 3 feet in diameter and 3 feet high. Maybe a bit more.

On 5/1/2018 at 6:51 AM, Landlubber Mike said: They look great Mark. How did you make the tops to the stove? Are those metal? Wood? Mike, the tops are 0.010" brass. I used a pill bottle of the right size to bend the sheet brass around, cut to length and bent up the edges for securing to the stove. I also used an old piece of broom stick as a backing when I drilled the chimney mounting hole. There's a small round rod inside the square chimney to secure it to the top. The front and rear panels were rough cut out (larger than needed) and silver soldered to the top. Once cool, they were filed down to the roof. Then they were cleaned up with an acetone bath and blackened with Birchwood Casey Brass Black. I prefer this to the Jax even though the Birchwood Casey takes two "dips", it doesn't need as much polisining after blackening. I hope this helps. Now to go fiddle with making 3 ships boats.

mtaylor Posted May 7, 2018 Author #2692 Posted May 7, 2018 As is my ilk, I tend to research, think, then jump right in. My next step is the ship's boats. I've been looking over the plans and sorting out to do this with out making a dog's breakfast of it. For the cutter and the barge (the two smaller boats) I'm going to use a modified jig. The longboat will be built around the plug that I already have made. This may change once I really get into things. Basically, I have a couple of old ME ship's boat kits.. a 5 inch and one that appears to be 6" (by their definition). To make a long story short, I took their instructions and modified the heck out of the plans and the thus, new parts, which I've drawn up and cut on the laser using boxwood for the keel, the stern, and first frame. The only seats will be the fixed ones at the rear and bow. I'll decide on what goes in this boat once I get it put together. But, historically, everything was removed, rudder, oars, the benches the rowers used, etc. and stored in the hold. The other two will be the same since the boats were stacked n the gundeck. The picture shows the keel with the stern structure and also the first frame. The stern structure gets planked externally first before doing the strakes. The frame has been modified for the forward "seat" instead of a bulkhead as some boats (other navies) had. As soon as I get the forms added to the build board, I'll start install the keel and start planking. Looks to be another small (size) fun part of the build.

mtaylor Posted May 10, 2018 Author #2694 Posted May 10, 2018 Thanks for looking in and the likes everyone. Thanks Pat. The laser is a blessing as I couldn't cut that accurately. I'm still sorting things out. I ended tossing the work above and re-doing it with some tweeking and am starting to plank, again with boxwood. I'm a lot happier with the mods I made a day ago or so. It also struck me that I should build the "big" boat first and work down from there, but no.. I have to do it the hard way, start tiny and get bigger.
