Hello Ralph

I wouldn't have thought the same template would do all the lines?

Hi Bob.

As you move the template down keeping the two ends aligned , the start point of the next line moves to the right of the deck, the radii remains but the start is higher up the curve of the template each time.

Hope this helps

Ralph.

Hi Gents,

Not been able to carry on with the build for a couple of weeks due to Carple tunnel syndrome in my right wrist, going to pay a visit to Haydock tomorrow, hope to meet some of the forum members there.

Looking to find some toothed belts and pulleys for the motors, two MFA 800 torpedo's.

See you all there: Ralph.

Hi Ralph

Sorry to hear about the CTS. Not pleasant.

Hope you have a good visit at Haydock.

[Ralph PinchParticipant @ralphpinch41762]

Thanks Amy Jane, no its not very nice but need to just carry on regardles.

Some of the models at Haydock are stunning, puts my efforts to shame, still if I get 20 more years I will be as good as them lol.

Met some of the forum members there. Nice people.

Ralph.

Started to work on Siadwell again after a couple of weeks lay off due to CTS, wrist is now supported with a metal splint, the joys of growing old.

Fabrication of the wheel house has begun, due to complexity of the angle's of my original concept drawing i.e.. the front elevation being raked, common sense prevails and the cab is now vertical as per Paul's original plans.

Hello Ralph

It was a nice surprise, meeting you at Haydock

You are making good progress now…..Despite, your bad wrist

Have you decided on the motor drive yet?

Bob

[Ralph PinchParticipant @ralphpinch41762]

Hi Bob, yes it was good to finally meet Paul and your good self, what a great show that was wasn't it, nice people and great models.

Going to make the pulley's and tensioners myself and buy the belts from your supplier, trying to limit the items that I have to purchase to motor's, belt's, props and electronics, the rest I aim to fabricate myself.

What's next on the slipway after Lady Joyce?

[Bob Abell 2Participant @bobabell2]

Hello Ralph

i might have a new project in mind, but feel the need to finish off the Lady Joyce first

We have our Club Comps, end of the year

Don't want to sink the ship….For 'apeth o' Tar!
