Emma moves - 12.2002

At first, Emma stood next to the mighty excursion steamers in the large hall. Sports boats were no longer to be stored there. Emma was therefore brought to the former engine hall on the blue flat wagon shown here.
Here, too, there was a ceiling crane and it was even moderately heated.
Emma was moved to the engine hall. This is where ship steam engines were previously overhauled and repaired.
The window frames are taking shape. To provide stability against jostling in the lock, I have integrated a solid 'hat shelf' into the construction above the windows.
I had a lot of fun building the coaming out of mahogany. As with all the other wooden parts, I glued it together from various strips to ensure stability.
What you can never have enough of: screw clamps. The coal bunker is also taking shape
You slowly begin to see the concept of parallel curved lines of roof and coaming, which significantly influence the elegance of a boat.
