I only wish some of my (I like to call my failures "proto-types") ended with me being able to blow them up. I used to do that with model cars and M80's. Thanks for the words of encouragement.

I'm loving this. I've thought of building a flat-top barge in 1/50 (not as ambitious as yours!) like those of Dutch operator Van der Wees.
It's really helpful to see the way you're constructing it - please keep going with the pics regualarly.

Manitowoc wrote:It actually is 1:50. But since it is an ocean going barge it is large in nature. Here is an example of one next to the typical inland waterways barge. Note the crawler crane and "A" frame on the smaller barge:  Graham was recently asking me how I was going to launch my CW-3 barge suggesting an LR/LG1750 possibly but I think I found the crane to lift it in  Keep the progress pictures coming...

I see you're gettin crazy Clay What size are those bearings? Those look similar size to the ones I have. I finally fitted my fairlead sheave bearings this week. I also secured the fairlead structure so I can try the semi finished bucket.

Beautiful work Clay! I'm really jealous of your tools. I could probably buy some just like them, but the knowledge to get them to do what I want with them is the problem.

Steve, They are 5x8.2.5. I would have preferred a slightly smaller ID, but since I have to bore out the sheaves and make the pins anyway, these will work out nicely. These are sealed too. I got them off of eBay. Lashlander, I haven't let my lack of machining knowledge get in my way. I can duck to the left or right just as fast to get out of the way of what comes flying out of the chuck.

Why is "phonetically" spelt with a "ph"? ... It's better to be silent and thought a fool, then to speak up and remove all doubt The complex of Newgrange was originally built between c. 3100 and 2900 BC,[2] meaning that it's aproximately 5,000 years old. According to Carbon-14 dates,[3] it is more than 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and predates Stonehenge by about 1,000 years.
