Truly a thing of beauty, that cap adds a lot of class to your boat.

First visit to the thread Mo, I'm ashamed to say 
First class workmanship, you're not scared to take the bull by the horns, and the result looks like it's going to be spectacular.
 
I would be hesitant to build anything that didn't come with instructions. 
John's cap is a work of art and he is way too modest 
Give me a lump of scrap and a lot of effort and I couldn't come up with that in a month of Sundays.
Keep up the good work and exercise that camera shutter.

Richard - instructions just mock me and tell me I read them too fast!! I did not build the boat from scratch- just "de-constructing" from scratch
I have great teachers!! All of them-- and the home work is fun!!

The steam boat is looking great and what a nice gesture of bogstandard to make the chimney cap for it!
One thing about filing in the lathe - It's a little scary as the consequences of hitting a spinning lathe jaw - at the least it's going to be unpleasant. It's suprising what rewarding results you can quickly achieve with a little care and a lot of polishing with emery cloth and some wet and dry! |
