Steam pinnace Janet

Hello All ,
Another small progress
I started with the position of esc and the receiver
Fist one was on the left side but the distance to the receiver was tricky so I had to change position to right side
afer some cartboard mock up i did the support in plywood
Also the odissey of dial cloks continue after I discovered I have no chance to get the round hole with the vises I got
Plan a,b c and now D is running

Hello All
just found a new friend with a small lathe and resolved some little problems with my transmission
Now the vibrations in ship are reduced a lot and put a new gt2 -40 teeth pulley on tne motor shaft for better speed
Kind regards Daniel20230727_181300.jpg20230727_181300.jpg20230727_181304.jpg20230728_080707.jpg20230728_080745.jpgAlex.jpg
 
Hello All
Another messy sunday ( from my admiral point of wiew)
This week I got from a friend some pieces of wood :20230813_100315.jpg20230813_104456.jpg20230813_110148.jpg20230813_110158.jpg outdoor dry -wild cherry .
I put my plane to work and got several good pieces to use for modelling .
I wanted to change the bow of the ship and cut to measure a bit of wood
This is the result
 
After that I got on my mechanical side and thread manually the bor for fixing the pulley on the propeller shaft
First I put a flat zone in my shaft on the mill
After for better alignment I did a thread guide from a piece of oak sitting around.
I put the auger bits to use and enjoy the quiet operation .
the result is that :

Dear Daniel - long time no see. It is so good to see you at work on the Janet and even better to see what good progress you are making. Keep up the excellent work!
 
Hello Heinrich ,good to see you
The work is going slow but steady and now I work on the wheel of the ship
I found the easiest wobbler steam engine that fit with some adjustements and want to build it.
Kind regards ,Daniel
