Captain Smith

Post by rayc »

Hi all this is my latest carving I had the model produced by Tom of the model club it is first class work from a photograph of Captain Smith who was Captain of the Titanic, I also had a model done of the Titanic and I will post this when done.

The carving is 90mm x 100mm x 10mm deep it is cut from plywood as the first carving using a 3mm end mill for roughing and a 1.5mm ball end for the finishing. it took around 1hr to complete.

I will be using this model to carve the detail into the timbers of R.M.S.OLYMPIC that I own and was the sister ship to Titanic.

Hi the step over was 30% just to see what result I got I will try a 10% for the Oak and Mahogany in the interest of detail at the xepense of speed.

Here is the first cut on R.M.S Olympic again in plywood I cut this a little less that the full depth with the same parameters as the bust, when I cut in hardwood I will cut to full depth and there will be more detail in it such as the portholes and deck level detail

Did you say you own the sister ship of the Tittanic?

How did that come about and how big is it?

Hi Nick. I did not own the Olympic I owned a lot of the fixtures from her.

The Olympic was stripped of her fittings in 1935 at Jarrow on the Tyne.

A paint company in Haltwhistle owned by Smith and Walton of Hadrian Paints (later to be Crown Paints)
were building an office block and Canteen and they bought a lot of the panelling and fittings and used them to fit out the offices and Canteen.

I bought the site in 2003 along with the fittings and decided to auction off the fittings in 2004.

The timbers I have left from the auction I make items from them and sell manly on Ebay.
