Old Ironsides:

On one of my trips to Boston, I decided to pay her a visit. Was an amazing feeling as I traversed her decks and thought about what it must have been like to live and work aboard her. I couldn't get over the hull thickness...don't remember the dimension, but caught my attention. The gun deck, during battle, had to be a nightmare....low ceiling, open span yet a closed box with decks above and below plus the sides of the ship, no bulkheads to block what was happening with other guns on deck, no fresh air, had to be hot, extremely noisy, and full of gunpowder fumes.........adding that to any battle damage that the crew encountered. A must see if in the area.

I'm starting a Scientific Models, Inc. (brand) Kit # 300, a 28" model of her. It's an old kit that I picked up on ebay....some collector must have had it sitting back on a shelf for 30 or so years and either decided to clean out the cob webs, or passed on and heirs are selling off a collection.

It's advertised to be an Authentic Museum Quality wooden model. Will be a challenge as a lot of wood and rigging work will be required. This follows a Scientific wooden "Flying Cloud " clipper that set the world speed record from NY to SF in 89 days via Cape Horn, yet to be beat,"The Mississippi" wooden paddle wheeler and the USS "Harriet Lane" a plastic Civil War sail/paddle wheel blockade runner. If you are tired of fixing old tractors (in the heat) as a hobby, might give it a try. Keeps your imagination active....figuring out how you are going to make this and that fit and all. I hear that keeping your mind busy wards off Alzheimer's. Or you can try trains, planes, and model classic cars. Great sport.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of Farm Machinery - by Joe Michaels. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, specializing in powerplant work. I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery. I credit my parents for instilling a lot of good values, a respect for learning, a knowledge of various skills and a little knowledge of farming in me, amo ... [Read Article]
