That paddlewheel is looking great Jan, it is an excellent re-start of your paddle steamer
Hi Jan. I will look tomorrow in Alan Bates Cyclopedium. I think he has some drawing about the construction of the stern wheel.Yup,I'm a novice and really have no idea of what I'm doing, but I think I'v stumbled across a minor problem.
The Stern Timbers.

I've held off on doing the fancy scroll edging until I had the stern timbers in place. The red arrow points to the location for the start of the 2nd timber (red line) as per plan sheet #3.

This shows the timbers butted up. Fortunately I didn't make two of these, because they would not have fit.
To further confuse the issue this plan shows another configuration.

So there you have it.
I'm to going to think about this over a couple of s.

Add a few whiskeys and you will certainly have the solution Jan…I'm to going to think about this over a couple of s.
Yup, that is a very good photo of the stern timbers. A picture is worth a thousand words.I wouldn't know a paddle-wheeler from a canoe - but that last picture seems to resolve the original problem of squeezing in two posts...
