  • General Workshop
    CARPENTRY INTRODUCTION Wood is an important engineering material that is extensively used in the buildings and industries. ‘Timber’ is another name for wood, which is obtained from exogeneous trees. “Wood Working” means processing of wood by hand and machines for making articles of different shapes and sizes. It is further divided into two groups; (1) Carpentry (2) Pattern making. Carpentry is the common term used with any class of work with wood. Pattern making deals with the type and construction of wooden patterns. Steel Rule Four fold rule Flexible tape Blade Try square Stock List of Tools I. Marking and Measuring tools 1. Pencil 9.

  • Maintenace Manual
    MAINTENACE MANUAL This is just a handy title which has been given to a number of articles which I have gradually been compiling since 2006. “Hints and Tips on Stella Maintenance” is perhaps a more accurate description of the spirit in which they have been written. They are my views and not those of the SCA. I am not trying to tell you what to do. It just a description of what I have found worked for me and what did not while I have been maintaining LYS (No 96) over the last twenty six years. Hopefully you will find it useful. The articles may give you some idea as to what you might find and what to expect if you start taking things to bits or if you are encountering problems. Many of you may already have your own views and methods of maintenance which may differ from mine but I would like to think we are a “broad church” at the SCA and can agree to differ. I would however hope that you will at least bear in mind the slightly hackneyed concept that we are just the custodians of these boats. Hopefully we can hand them on, or better still sell them on, to the next generation knowing that the boats are still broadly in keeping with the original design concepts of the class. Ultimately, however, it is down to each individual owner to take responsibility for their decisions about what to do with their own boat.

  • Hints and Tips on Stella Maintenance
    HINTS AND TIPS ON STELLA MAINTENANCE by John Sparks 01473 788186 © January 2010 John Sparks & The Stella Class Association 0 Contents Page No Introduction 2 Part I: General Issues Skills & Tools 6 Hand Tools 6 Power Tools 8 Safety Wear 8 Materials 9 Philosophy 9 Fastenings 10 Glues 12 Mastics and Sealants 14 Traditional Materials 15 Paints and Painting 19 Mast & Rigging 21 1 Part II: Specific Projects Broken Ribs, Refastening & Plank Repairs Leaking 21 Replacing Cracked Ribs 23 Refastening 27 Seams & Caulking 31 Plank Repairs 32 This is as far as I have got as at January 2010 but if there is sufficient interest other areas I propose to cover are 1. Ruder repairs: Cheeks and drifts in blade. 2. Keel Issues. Replacing Keel Bolts, Floor Bolts and Scarf Bolts. Re- bedding keel. 3. Deck/ Coach roof repairs. Fixings, sheathing, rubbing stakes and toe rails. 4. Engine replacement. Stuart to Yanmar. Engine bearers, new floors and taking patterns. 2 5. Lastly and not strictly maintenance, building an epoxy ply tender. 3 Some time ago a request for information about maintenance issues made me realise that after maintaining my own Stella “Lys of Slaughden” for the last 20 years and doing almost all of the work myself, I have accumulated quite a bit of knowledge. This could be usefully passed on. I would stress that what is below is just the way I do it. You may have your own methods with which you are happy. I am not trying to say my ways are the only proper way to maintain your boat.
