trippwj Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share #182 Posted December 20, 2014 Building continues at a snails pace here in the ole shipyard. Continuing that gradual work on the ships stove. You may recall when last we visited it looked like this. The stove itself is a length of 3/8" diameter dowel (works out to about a 12" diameter coal stove). The flue pipe is made from 3/31" dowel. I decided to replace the metal piece that came with the kit and make it all out of dowel. Still need to finish sand, prime and paint the pipe and add the final angled piece at the top. You may have noticed the worker - since it gets cold up here the Admiral kindly knitted him a watch cap to ease labor relations a bit. She also wasn't totally satisfied with the first blanket, so has knitted a new one for the cabin. These last couple of shots show the soot on the bulkhead and the coal dust from the stove. Will be a small coal bin on the starboard side of the stove (next piece on my list). Other than a couple of more interior details, I guess my next step is to start framing in the deck itself. For that, will need to practice with the scroll saw so I can cut the 30 bazillion knees I need for the deck beams. popeye the sailor, gjdale, _SalD_ and 6 others 9 Quote WayneNeither should a ship rely on one small anchor, nor should life rest on a single hope.Epictetus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trippwj Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share #186 Posted April 2, 2015 Greetings - and please accept my apology for the lengthy delay between posts! Between the snow onslaught in January and February and then my employment change last month, well, it has been rather difficult to get motivated to spend time in the build yard. Most of the progress shown was from January. I am trying to get my enthusiasm back to move on with Emma and hope to be splitting time between a side research project, the job search and the build table. At any rate, the deck beams are nearly all in - 3 more major beams and a few cross pieces to add. I have opted not to do the knees - I tried a couple of times but they did not come out well at all. View from above Profile view. Note the very low clearance in the forward hold! The cabin will have a overall height just above the worker standing there. Next up is install the last few deck beams and then start planking. Suggestions desired - and thanks for stopping by! gjdale, Sjors, Mirabell61 and 17 others 20 Quote WayneNeither should a ship rely on one small anchor, nor should life rest on a single hope.Epictetus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhearl Posted April 3, 2015 Share #192 Posted April 3, 2015 Here's a suggestion for you - as you place the deck beams, be aware of the locations of the holes in the deck covering board (or waterway) for the stanchions. The stanchions come later in the process but they are designed, in some places, to fit right next to a frame. I thought I had followed the plans when set the deck beams. But when I placed the covering board much later, I discovered that some of the holes were right over the tops of deck beams. Of course, by then it was far too late to do anything to correct it - the deck was already installed - so I had to cut the stanchions short and epoxy them in. But this would be a good time to take the covering boards out of the matrix and place them in position to see if you have room for the stanchions.

I think we all know how outside influences can effect our building progress. View from overhead is impressive!!! Thanks, Augie - moving forward, keeping spirits up. Gotta be something better just over the horizon! Hi Wayne It's nice to see you back in your old ship yard and that you are continuing your build on your great ship the Emma c. Berry. Hopefully the snow is gone for this year, We up here in Sutton have gotten of rather lightly compared to the huge amount that we received last year. But the family in Nova Scotia are still up to there necks in it so to speak. Looking forward to more great up dates, ENJOY. Regards Lawrence Thank you, Lawrence. She is certainly no match for your Annie, but she is a fun build! Welcome back Wayne at least you were able to dig out of that mess. Your Emma looks great. David B Thanks, David. Got a dusting of snow last night and again this morning, but the snow is slowly but surely melting. Only 30 inches or so (on average) left to go! Nice to see you back in the shipyard Wayne. I look forward to more progress on this lovely little model. Thank you, Grant. It was tough to get motivated, but moving along now.

cog Posted April 5, 2015 Share #197 Posted April 5, 2015 Wayne, In a way lucky they are mounted like this and not vertically. Those knees are between two beams which actually span the breadth of three beams. It means you will need to get a few beams out ... You can then mount the knees and remount the remaining beams, for those knees support the beam in the middle.. It's not a small operation but doable ... If you plan to lay the entire deck, you might leave the knees out, but you will not be building conform specs ... trippwj 1 Quote Carl "Desperate affairs require desperate measures."

trippwj Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share #202 Posted May 31, 2015 Not much of an update, but have not been totally slacking! The deck beams have all been installed, as well as the covering board. With additional helpers here, we have done some preliminary work on the building slip (the 2 young ones, 8 & 10, think it is fun to be able to spread glue and sprinkle cleaned beach sand for the base). Next step is to start planking the hull (and adding details to the building slip). yvesvidal, canoe21, riverboat and 17 others 20 Quote WayneNeither should a ship rely on one small anchor, nor should life rest on a single hope.Epictetus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
