Rick
Billings Progress
Seven years ago this boat was given to me making it my first boat. Turned out to be a good starter boat as the hull was almost finished. Having painted it the way the write up seamed to say. Then ready to run and into the water. The boat being top heavy it tipped and took on water. Back to the work bench and striped and left to sit until this year. The boat is almost finished needs rudder motor and ballast
Rick
Puffer
The puffer is a scratch built boat I had started 2 years ago.Ready to go for water tests and ballast if needed.
Rick
Scratch built Borkum
Designed from pictures and video of the Krick model.
Hellen
This one is a kit I built .
USGA Rescue
This one was built when I got her .The paint job looked like someone had why to much paint and used it all.
Striped it down to a clean surface rebuilt all railings and pilot house repainted and added decals.
Fairplay
This was a strip down and repair.
First steam boat
I was sent the steam plant by one on our members.It is a freelance steam launch as I lengthened the boat to fit the boiler and engine.The steam boiler and engine are the Maxwell Hemmens Canton plant.It has been run on water and held 30 psi for allmost 20 min.
Rick
Steam engine
These three show the lever in each position from the base top lower and center .Center is full stop,top is full foreword and bottom is full reverse and notches in between for slower speeds
Rick
steam engine
Graham TV1 STEAM ENGINE as the engine sits left is the prop side and the lever is in the up position the center post has notches in for speed control as the lever moves up and down for direction .I hope this helps Doug.

Miranda

Miranda engine
Not the best as I have trouble taking pictures
Rick
The roof frame was built. Pieces to be added to finish the contours and fit. The roof will need to come off for access to all electronics. Final shaping will be done after all work on the superstructure finished Rick
The front and rear bulkheads were made sanded and trim pieces put in place. The rear bulkhead was changed to add a window as the drawing did not show one and trim added. The front bulkhead was changed to mahagany pieces instead of basswood 3rd picture basswood pieces. Roof frames were built. Rick
Glues depend on the surfaces to be glued. I use Gorilla wood glue for wood to wood CA for styrene to styrene and wood to styrene Two part epoxies when needed Two part finishing epoxy for sealing the hull inside and out. Rick
Work started on the superstructure. The numbered pieces (6) were punched out to make the two sides for the cabin. The pieces are butt jioned and needed a left and right. Not sure the glue would be enough to hold the pieces together. Cut strips of fiber cloth and glued each seam on the inside of both sides. Built the front of the cabin. clean up and sanding to come. Rick
The drawing for the stand was to be transfered to wood of choice I felt the disign was to small for this build. Had a length of 1x4 pine and picked up 7/16 dowel to build a redisigned stand. Marked the plan angles onto the pine and disigned the shape to be cut out. Cut out drilled and put together. Clean up to come. Rick
Glued mahagany on the transom. Some shaping done to bottom. Used filler at transom edge and sides. Sides need clean up before mahagany can be glued on Rick
I have been using the same product. Had success cutting it on cardboard using a straight edge and box cutter (new blade) Still need to be careful in how you handle the fiberglass cloth. Rick
Well done Stephen The rudder turned out well and I think the deck planking is coming nicely. You are doing such a good job your sailer has lost a leg and his head over yuor work. Rick
The hull bottom when sanded and filled is a finished surface to be painted. When the bottom is close will glue on the first pieces for the transom and sides and fill and sand before mahagany goes on Rick
