Witaj
Praca jak zawsze bardzo dobra chwytak świetny i bardzo pomocny ale zastanawiają mnie Uwe kolana zazwyczaj kończą na wysokości belki a te są wyższe ? czy to tylko złudzenie. Pozdrawiam Mirek

Hello
Very good work as always, the gripper is great and very helpful, but I wonder if your knees usually end at the height of the beam and are these higher? Is it just an illusion? Regards, Mirek

 

[Peter Voogt]

With the time I am realizing, that some parts are still missing and have to be installed.
These f.e. I recognized in an other building log -> damn, these I have also to install

The small knees which are taking over the horizontal forces when the mortar is firing

And I remembered also this small and important small helper to fix small parts during f.e. the laser char removal

View attachment 460743

After char removal I also "installed" copper "bolts"

one more small thing installed - some hours of work, nobody will recognize them, but they belong to the Granado
and especially on my "open version" of the Granado they are important

Many Thanks for your interest in my building log ........ to be continued with the rudder assembly

Small things can make a big difference, Uwe. And yes, it did!
Regards, Peter

Hallo Mirek,
N
Many Thanks for your interest in the build...... the small knees have to be higher - it is correct in the model

Taking a look at the drawings in Goodwin

the four knees on each side of the mortar bed in top view


the green line is the "cut" between the upper and the lower part of the model
in red you can see the bulkhead of the mortar box



which is visible at the upper part of the model - here the red arrows would be the four knees






I hope, that my explanations are understandable ?

 

[DST07]

Nice work, as always!

 

[Mirek]

Cześć Mirek,
N
Dziękuję bardzo za zainteresowanie budową... małe kolana muszą być wyżej - tak jest w tym modelu

Przyjrzyjmy się rysunkom w Goodwin

cztery kolana po każdej stronie łoża zaprawy w widoku z góry
View attachment 461025

zielona linia to „cięcie” między górną i dolną częścią modelu
na czerwono widać grodź moździerza

View attachment 461026

co jest widoczne w górnej części modelu - tutaj czerwone strzałki to cztery kolana

Mam nadzieję, że moje wyjaśnienia są zrozumiałe ?

Witaj
Bardzo dziękuje Uwe. Pozdrawiam Mirek

I'm not sure what sense it would make to have a door from the Purser's cabin to the Bread Room Annex.

Maybe because that was a key part of his trading Empire? The purser was a civilian provision manager responsible for the procurement and distribution of food, beer, spirits, clothing, bedding and tobacco, and often the cooks and stewards were also subordinate to him. Initially appointed by the Admiralty, from the 18th century onwards the purser had to purchase his warrant for £65 and pay a food loss bond of £2,500 to the Admiralty.

Many Thanks for all your interest and the comments, and of course also the likes received - much appreciated and a motivation for this work and posting

The next project in the project is the rudder with all hinches

We have some good detailed drawings published in the Anatomy book from Goodwin -> a lot of work





you can see that the kit rudder has two interlocked parts of the rudder blade, the drawing three (Main piece #21 made from oak and two fir pieces #22 and #23) - ok - my Granado will have only one oak piece and a second "fir" piece......

I added already the back piece #17 (fir) and also the sole #19 (fir)



BTW: when you are interested we have an interesting topic describing jury and emergency rudders, afterwards we understand better why such an original rudder was constructed like shown by Goodwin

Jury and emergency rudder

The naval history is full of broken or lost rudders A jury rudder is a makeshift arrangement to give a ship the ability to steer when it has lost its rudder. From: jury rig in > East Indiaman Henry Addington with a jury rudder https://www.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/rmgc-object-113125...

Many Thanks for your interest in my building log

my dear friend
the rudder looks great, which wood is it?

 

[Uwek]

I got my supply of polyester rope material for my HMS Granado (anchor cable, messenger, gun and mortar tackles etc.)

It is the first time, that I ordered from Ropes of Scale alias @BenD
and I am extremely happy with the quality and also the service provided.

Many Thanks to Ben

Take a look

















IN addition I git also these two sample cards - will be very helpful for decision for the next delivery - Very good











I am very happy

 

[Don Case]

Just a idle question. How did you decide how much to order? I can't imagine how much rope I've made for the Discovery. I seem to have to make some every day (my walk makes seven feet a time) and I wouldn't have had a clue as to how much to order from some one.

 

[Uwek]

....the rudder looks great, which wood is it?

The complete kit is Cherry wood - and a little bit boxwood, but the priciple structure. planking and rudder is all Cherry

Just a idle question. How did you decide how much to order?.....

for this project it is not a problem, because the model will be not rigged - I have only the anchors and the guns which will need some rope material.......

The work on the rudder continues ......



Marking the notches



the first one for test is roughly done



the necessary champfer will be done later on



I am still old-fashioned and make such things with the needle file



still some small adjustments necessary - I have to check every notch with the correct hinge



and the champfer - I love it when some wooden chips are laying on the desk - we are still wood-worker



Many Thanks for your interest in my log .....

Very nice work on the rudder, Uwe. with nice hand work.

[Uwek]

Now the gudgeons / hinges are fitting already better - but still a lot of work







I tried to bring all of the pins along the edge of the rudder blade - only than the gap between stern post and rudder is small







These are included in the great kit - Many thanks to CAF



some cleaning works are still necessary



Many Thanks for your interest

Uwe, pay attention to this element. Its length is usually 3 loop widths. The drawing shows how much the axis protrudes from the lower loop. On your loops they are short

View attachment 462092View attachment 462093

I can not fully agree with the length of the pins as shown on the drawing. The the rudder can never be lifted of:

The space below the pin must be at least the hight of the lower part of the hing.
Or I must be totally wrong .........
With the lengt of Uwe's parts it is probably just possible. Otherwise the open part must be longer.
