dvm27 Posted April 20, 2017 Share #361 Posted April 20, 2017 Lovely capstans, Marsalv! It does make one wonder about the practicalities of manning the lower capstan bars when both are required for the task at hand. mtaylor 1 Quote GregwebsiteAdmiralty Modelsmoderator Echo Cross-section buildAdmiralty Models Cross-section BuildFinished buildPegasus, 1776, cross-sectionCurrent buildSpeedwell, 1752 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maury S Posted April 21, 2017 Share #362 Posted April 21, 2017 Are the iron stanchions get removable? No way they can use the lower capstan as setup.

marsalv Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share #363 Posted April 21, 2017 According to the information that I obtained, only the upper capstan was used for weighing the anchor. The lower capstan was propably used only for the control of messenger rope and in case of upper capstan damage (only exceptionally). In this case, it was necessary to remove the pillars and ladder (both were removable). WackoWolf, mtaylor and Markicorbett@aol.com 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sailor1234567890 Posted June 5, 2017 Share #376 Posted June 5, 2017 I love the design of those rails you've got there. What will they look like once completed?

marsalv Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share #387 Posted June 10, 2017 Thank you to all for comments and likes. To sailor 123456789: I have the same problem to understand this function. The chain pums and main jeer bitts are so close each other and there is no space for manipulation. Above that I made one small mistake, the main jeer bitts are positioned behind the deck beams (in plans are the main bitts under deck beam). Fortunately on the main jeer bitts end only two ropes. To John Allen: It is secret. But whoever seeks, he finds it. The last item on the main deck - brake pumps. They are installed temporarily now. Final fixation will be after deck planking.

allanyed Posted June 10, 2017 Share #388 Posted June 10, 2017 TOP WORK The gear and ratchet teeth on the elm pumps are the kinds of details that make your build so exceptional. I cannot tell from the photo but are the "iron" parts made of brass or some other material. Cutting the gear had to be a challenge and if you have more details on that, it would be great to see.

marsalv Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share #389 Posted June 13, 2017 Thank you Allan. So, when I was in brass work, I decided to finish the chimney. I had to combine soldering with tin and silver, which is an incredibly inappropriate combination. Here you can see the result.
