Wooden Ship Wheel

Where can I find a wooden ship helm??? My cousin is wanting to do his room up in a fishing/ship theme. He is looking for a wooden steering wheel like they had on the ships back in the day. Does anyone know where they sell these for 20-25 dollars?? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Sorry, I was alittle vague on the details. What I am was looking for was a decoration piece that looked like the old ship helms. I found what I was looking for though... Thanks for all the answers.!

is it possible to make a seaworthy ship using a double decker bus and a wooden hull? romove the wheels and axels and fit the bus (up to just above the lower deck windows) into the hull with beams to hold it in place...and how much would a hull of sufficient size cost in building materials?

does any one know any info on a company called Brown Bros & Co ltd,Rosebank Ironworks, Edingborough? I have bought a wooden ships wheel with a brass inlay on the outer wheel with the company name Brown Bros, Rosebank Ironworks, Edingborough. There's a number on the wheel & I am trying to find out if I can trace the wheel to a ship. Any help would be great. Thanks

Steering Wheel Creaking? We have a Chrysler Voyager and right now it is making this really loud 'creeaaak' noise everytime we turn the steering wheel. Sounds sorta like the sound a wooden ship makes on the ocean. Is there any simple way to fix it without taking it in to the shop? If not and we`re forced to take it in, is there a place that will give true, honest to god evaluations? Chryler has tried to make us buy several new parts we didn`t need and we`ve taken it to STS but they didn`t hear anything during the test drive (don`t you hate that?).

I need wooden cart wheels, or a wheelright to make them? I need some wooden cartwheels, is there anyone out there who knows where I can buy them, or knows of a wheelright who can make them for me? I live in the UK so it will need to be a UK based supplier, as the shipping would cost too much.

Would it be wrong to try to make it look like i lead an interesting life by doing this...? maybe i can keep a rack on my car with kayaks in the summer, and skis in the winter, even tho i don't know how to ski or kayak. maybe i can have a part of my home devoted to cool trinkets , making it look like i love to sail and travelled everywhere - like maybe a wooden ship steering wheel thing, some sharks teeth , post cards, sea shells, hawaiian lei things, and 1000 other trinkets - even tho i've never been on a boat in my life and even tho i never have been anywhere? Maybe i could learn to be fluent in 5 sentences in 10 different languages, so i only need to learn 50 sentences, but it will make it seem like i am fully fluent in those languages, even tho i'm not. Is this ok? What are some other ideas?

jeep cherokee sqeeking in sterring column and more? hi..my friend's jeek cherokee..think it is an 98..has developed a creeking noise when one turns the steering column..it sounds like an old wooden ship at sea. when I popped the hood it sounds like the noise is actually coming from the driver's side wheel.. I tired lubing up the various parts underneath the car..used a grease stray on the shocks/struts/tie rods etc..I also tried a spray lubricant which I think made maters worse.. the car seemed to creak worse.. the noise isn't that bad when driving..more so when I'm parking and turning the wheel. the funny thing is that I can also hear the creaking in the steering column. any suggestions..plus what type of lube should I have used and where..perhaps I'm missing something thanks for all your help

How is this poem? (short)? We always wore our golden hearts, Shipped the kittens off to the homeless, In noisy, uncontrollable carts. My contempt for you will glide, On frozen lakes with wooden wheels, Where fish and sleeping beasts hide. Hideous face masked by night, Our exaltation proves to be false. Now inhale the exhaust of my flight. Limp tongue licks salt from the weeks, Tickles her skinny elbows, As the house burns while the roof leaks. Who gave those other answers a thumbs down? Buncha' savages on this site.

Loud creaking noise when steering..? I have a 2001 Dodge Stratus that is paid for. Lately, I have noticed a creaking noise whenever I steer the wheel. When I say creaking, I mean it sounds like an old wooden ship in the water, or an old wooden floor. It mainly only does it when I turn slowly, parking, or backing out. And though it also does it when I turn right, it is more pronounced when I turn left. Like I can barely hear it when I turn right, but the noise is there. Before I heard this creaking noise, I had been hearing a squeaking noise (sounding like a young bird chirping), which was later determined to be bad struts. I only had one side fixed (passenger), because that's all I could afford at the time. And I plan to get the other side fixed this week. Just wondering if the creaking from the steering could be the result of only getting one side fixed, or is it another issue together? I did just put PS fluid in it last week, in case that comes up.

What are those old school boat steering wheels called? The wooden ones with all the handles that are on pirate ships. I really want to buy one but idk what their called.

Anyone remember an 80's kid's TV show where the main characters were puppets that flew a homemade spaceship? I seem to remember that it was a serial attached to another program--you would only get like 5 minutes of program before ending in a cliffhanger. The puppets had block, ventriloquist-like heads and practical hands (I remember the hands always looking strange b/c they were huge compared to the character's heads and they never matched the skin tones: e.g. the Caucasian puppets looked like they were wearing white gloves and the African-American puppets wearing brown gloves). I remember two girl puppets (one African-American, one a red head) and a boy puppet. The girls had short bob haircuts and the blond boy always wore a red baseball cap—there may have been an African-American boy and a Hispanic girl who was always in a flowery dress and barrette as well. Although the main characters were puppets, they did interact with live people when they would land their makeshift spacecraft looking for whatever it was they were looking for--usually each other. The "spacecraft" looked like a tee-pee covered with wooden shingles and had a spoked bicycle wheel for the porthole window. I think the ship either had a periscope inside or was steered with bicycle handlebars--either way, there was something inside the ship that the puppets would grab with both hands to do something or other (hence the strange looking gloved hands). It's been driving me nuts that I can't remember anything else about the show. Please help save my sanity. Thanks.

Using torque and a crank to lift a package? The mechanism shown in the figure is used to raise a crate of supplies from a ship's hold. The crate has total mass 51 kg. A rope is wrapped around a wooden cylinder that turns on a metal axle. The cylinder has radius 0.20 m and a moment of inertia I = 2.5 kg*m^2 about the axle. The crate is suspended from the free end of the rope. One end of the axle pivots on frictionless bearings; a crank handle is attached to the other end. When the crank is turned, the end of the handle rotates about the axle in a vertical circle of radius 0.12 m, the cylinder turns, and the crate is raised. Diagram http://session.masteringphysics.com/problemAsset/1040909/3/yf_Figure_10_50.jpg Question: What magnitude of the force F applied tangentially to the rotating crank is required to raise the crate with an acceleration of 0.85 m/s^2? (You can ignore the mass of the rope as well as the moments of inertia of the axle and the crank.) Ok, so so far I've found the tension force in the rope by applying gravity and calculating in the upward acceleration to be 543.15 N making the Toque as 108.63 Nm. What I'm having a problem with is relating the torque in the larger wheel to the torque in the crank. Relevent equations: F_y = T-mg=ma T=Fd=I*alpha Tension Force = I*alpha/r

What do you think of my story? It's 1947, Sanford is 18 years old, he has dark brown hair and grey green eyes. Sanford moved from Chicago to Mobile, Alabama to live with his aunt and uncle after a "mishap" at home. When Sanford is hired to fix his neighbor, Mr. Jackson's, truck he meets 17 year old Jo Jackson. Jo is an average-everyday-American-teenager. She has curly light brown hair and dark brown eyes. And once Samford catches a glimpse of Jo reading under the huge maple tree in the backyard, her locksplaced perfectly on her shoulders, her light blue shirt elegantly tucked under her nave blue skirt, her eyes glisten in the perfect daylight and Sanford realizes... he loves the girl next door... Once Sanfird fixes the truck he asks Jo on a night ride, but while driving down a dark wooden bridge the truck breaks down and the two find themselves together behind the hood of the truck and eventually pushing the truck 5 miles. But assuming Jo will mever want to see him ever again he is surprised when he hears her laughing histerically and can't help but laugh with her. Soon Jo and Sanford firm a close friend ship and on one of their regular walks together, on a dusty road in the country, the two find an abandoned farmhouse and barn with a black cross in the front yard. While investigating the house Sanford finds pictures of a family and furniture in the livingroom, dishes in the sink, unmade beds, piles of dirty laundry and a few puddles of wax coverinf candleholders. Then, he asked himself what happened to these people? While Sanford is in the house Jo is in the barn and she comes in surprised and pulls Sanfords out of the house making him drop and break a picture frame... In the barn the two find an old plane. The propellors are just a bicycle wheel, the dash board is just a piece of cardboard and the window is completely gone. Dispite the trashy look of the plane, Sanford finds something within himself that persuades him to fix the plane. Jo crawls into the plane and pats the seat and invited Sanford in. Just then, Sanford stops amnd looks at Jo's beautiful face, he shining hair, her batting eyes, she blushes and he sits next to her. Soon, Sanford finds himself telling Jo his past of how he found his dad cheating on his mom with his maid and how he came home from school one day and found the police at his home and his parents dead. And Jo tells him about her dreams of becoming actress/singer. As the two near closer and closer Sanford finds himself tempted to... to... he curses himself for thinking like that and gets out of the plane. As him and Jo walk home he can't find the courage to look at her and he leaves without saying good-bye. It's July 1948, Sanford is at the hospital holding his uncle's hand, Jo rubbing her soft hamds on his shoulders, his aunt crying. Sanfird watches as his uncle exhales unevenly and then stops... forever. Sanford walks out of the room. He hears Jo whisper, "Sanford..." but pretends not to hear. Samford goes into a severe state of depression. He locks himself in his room, never eats, nails the windows shut, his eyes are permanately red, his face is pale as paper. He has suicidal thought and one day while helping his aunt with dinner he pricks his finger and is awed as he watches the blood trickle. He cuts his wrist and smiles faintly as it oozes out. His aunt sees him amd grabs the knife but Sanford jerks it out and slices her hand, then, realizing what he's done Sanford curls up in a ball in the kitchen floor and sobs. One day, Jo comes over to confort Sanford, he's in his room, she opens the door and sees Sanford sitting on his bed listening to static on his radio staring out the window not wanting to see her. As she slowly confronts him he storms out of the room. Later that night the police are searching as well as the whole street. Jo walks to the farmhouse. Alone. She finds Sanford huddled in a corner looking at the cracked picture. She talks to him and he tells her he loves her and tries to kiss her... She tells him good-bye and leaves... It's Nobember 1949, Jo slowly walks to the front door next door, she knocks and Samford answers. He has a faint smile on his face. Jo tells him she wants to start over and the conversation starts, "I don't think we can start over, Jo. Losten, I have something to tell yoy." Sanford grabs her wrists, Jo blushes. "Jo, my aunt and I have money. We're living on welfare." Jo looks at his eyes. Sanford looks down, "I can't stand to see her like this!! I'm leaving. For good. I'm going into the Air Force to support my aunt and never coming back. I've already ruined everyone's life." He is cryong and so is she. December 1949, Jo and Sanford are at the train station saying their final good-byes suddenly, Jo looks at Sanford. His wavy brown hair flows with the cold wind, his eyes are gentle and calm. Them she realizes she loves him and she kisses him. Sorry for all the spelling errors. I was in a hurry. The title is "The Truth, the Lies, amd the Love" by Morgan Paddock.

I have a story about the time Dubya and John Howard just finished a meal at Woolloommoolloo? Both men were in the mood for an evening walk after such a sumptious steak banquet with 200 of our finest citizens. But before said could happen and the Chasers have Osama not not Obama, be flown in for a quick kerbside interview it was necessary for the route to be in lock down all the way to Harry's Meals De Wheels. So they FBI packing heat frothing at the mouth for some gun play decided to toss a coin for the honour with the Australian SAS to do a quick sorte down route and clear the road of alll but the said flower girls mike in hand back to base? SAS won the toss and went in to bat. As they rounded the bend in full out sprint with 110kg back pack with said equipment and special purpose vechicle following up the rear, jogging speed 45kmh a suspicious character was found at the docks? There with a three pointed hat they quckly removed to search was a man hopping on a wooden peg? What's with the fake leg, why is your leg strapped up behind you knee??? Stern authority voice!! "AAArrrrrggggghhh" said the old man? I like that sound? "AAArrrrrggggghhh" said the old man? Okay you have copy paste too eh? "AAArrrrrggggghhh" he said, "well ah was splicing da main brace and da boom spun round an hit me wippin out me leg AAArrrrrggggghhh but ships doctor be mighty kind amputated me leg and fashioned me a nice new leg to walk upon? AAArrrrrggggghhh" "Yeah, well what about the deadly weapon you is concealing on your hand that grappling hook?" Sterner voice starting to get angry now!!! "AAArrrrrggggghhh" said the pirate, i mean gentleman on the wharf front near where dock workers were? "AAArrrrrggggghhh" he said "Well I'd climbed up to the main stay on ship and was lashing sail wind came up an blew me off ripping my hand see AAArrrrrggggghhh but ships doctor be mighty kind and fashioned me this hook where my hand was, so I can still splice main brace and stow sails? AAArrrrrggggghhh" "I am starting to get mighty angry" because SAS soldiers arent easily fooled in the year 2006 and when a visitng President controlling the free world arrives and they usually warn someone politely before knocking the living stuffing outta dem unless Al Kyda or Obama or something, ooops should read Osama, Obama Osama all sounds same to me? "What is with the fake eye patch then?" said the SAS soldier now irrate at wasting so much time instead of shooting first and profusely apologising later? "AAArrrrrggggghhh" said the dock worker, note back from pirate having described one without a doubt, aint no doubt bout it? "AAArrrrrggggghhh" which is really weird because aussie dockers dont usually make such words up usually english ones maybe but only when they are winning the ashes?? "AAArrrrrggggghhh" said the english dock worker in Australia probably on an out stayed visa in time for the January first Bondi fire works beach party, wooden pegs are such a drag in the sand? "AAArrrrrggggghhh" he said? Ah was watching albatros in sky an ee swooped and pooped in moy eye?" Obviously spotting an out right fake because clear line asian fishers have killed all the sea birds with lines entangling these birds now extinct and he baled him up against wall? "AAArrrrrggggghhh" Said seaman, "I whipped it with me hand" as he worked it up somewhere between the gonnards and cruits of the SAS bloke and rather than be a fatherless put a death grip on his neck and he collapsed in a clatter of steel and timber on the ground to be thrown on following car and hog tied, next said the SAS following on at 45 kmh as if nothing had happened. I wonder, do you think Dubya instead of feasting on fine Aussie grain fed rump steak with sailors shoulda been on the clearance root to later see these same men chow down on a Harry's Meals de Wheels pie and peas rather than bother with the boob jobs the navy paid for? Rate the joke outta ten or story and btw that doesnt include any person or persons refered to in the story or after it? Points awarded on a reply that makes sense isnt insulting and may or may not be funny something more than just a number outta ten like vanity I am really vain being a blonde virgo male and like leo brunettes???

One of the baby hamsters is going to be with my aunt and uncle, i wrote some things, did i miss anything? :)? Type: Syrian or Teddy Bear Hamster Size: Medium Birth date: 2:46 AM, June 15, 2009 Things To Know- Hamster cages should be chosen larger than the "dwarf hamsters" cages. They should be cleaned every week or so. They should have NON - Wired mesh wheels because they can break their small, easily fractured, Legs and arms, the wheels should be solid and no rungs. The cage should be secured enough so that a baby hamster cannot escape. A baby hamster can escape any where the size of a dime and an adult or mature hamster can escape anywhere the size of a quarter. No wired mesh for the tray at the bottem so that they do not slip through them and break their small bones. They can bite the bars, as long as it is non-toxic without rust, because those can cause death in some hamsters. There is no such thing as "TOO BIG" of a hamster cage, however there is something called "TOO SMALL". IF you cannot provide a wheel inside the cage, they will need a hamster ball that they can run about for no more than 30 minutes a day, YOU MUST CHOSE ONE BECAUSE THEY ARE NESSESITIES FOR A HAMSTER, if they do not recive these things they can get stiff, short legs that may make it harder for them to get food or water than it usually should be.Their food should be scattered or in a food dish. A water bottle(the ones you have to buy at petstores not the drinking water) is reccomened for a hamster because water dishes are harmful as they can drown without you noticing.They need hiding places so provide them with a igloo or an small box or item with an entrance. Hamsters ned to chew alot so provide them with chewable items such as wooden blocks. Their bedding should NOT BE FLUFF as they can choke hamsters.The house should be away from sunlight or cold places, you can use aspen shavings, shredded (with no ink for pencil markings of the sort) paper, or pelleted bedding. No not use pine or chedar ships as the fumes from these can be harmful. Teddy bear hamsters ARE SOLITARY ANIMALS. THEY MUST LIVE ALONE. One hamster per cage, no exeption.You should not be worried if the hamster does not wake up in the morning because they are nocturnal meaning they sleep in the morning and play in the afternoon or at night, so if your wheel squeaks you may need to put olive oil on it and it will be as silent as the air.They can live from anywhere from 1 to 3 years. Anything over would be quite rare and in some cases 1 in a million.They hoard food in their cheeks which is so cute! The reccomended ones are: Carefresh because they are soft, absorbent and lasts longer so the cage doesnt smell.There should not be any There are various types of cages: *Wired cages* the ones with wires at the top, side, and corners, and a plastic tray at the bottem. If you do get this they should be large and should have a deep base so that they do not kick food or bedding out of the wire bars. They get enough air but should be kept in a warmish coldish place so that they do not die of lack of warmth/ too much warmth.These are easy to clean. *Plastic Cages* Plastic cages are hard to clean. They have no venelation (air) but they have the most warmth. The best plastic cages around are - the hamster OVO suite. The hamsters cannot kick out food and can dig as they please. If there are tubes they should be easy to reach and big enough for 3 fingers to fit through it. *Tank Cage* These provide great venelation but is hard to clean depending on the type. (though they should be fairly easy) They should have a mesh wire top but small enough that they cannot exit *they are great jumpers and climbers* but large enough holes so they can breathe. They do , scratch, and runs wheels at night so becareful! THEY will keep you up! :D Tip: Male hamsters usually run on wheels and not on the hamster balls because it frightens them alot the Females will usually run on both - so if you want a hamster ball they will be more amusing and have the most fun :D Tip 2: Male Hamsters are lazy and can bite but rarely, the Females are more active so they are usually called "nippy" due to their biting, but bites usually occur due to wrong handleing or otherwise. Tip 3: If you are bitten , dont shake off the hamster- remember your wound can cure in a week , if you throw the hamster its wound will NEVER or WILL FATELY HURT THE HAMSTER. Wash your hands in Anti Bacterial Soap and place the hamster in the cage- calmly and slowly- its 200 times more scared than you are. Remember- This is the only way it can defend itself- Its nature! Their scared little things because their usually used as Snake Food! Tip 4: ^_^ hamsters can have HARD small bits of dog bones (no meat flavor, just plain) because they are made of grain and wheat so they are O.K. once in a while for a treat :) dog food (dry) is also okay once in a while because they are nutrious for them at times :) Tip 5. If you dont want the hamster to run at the middle of the night then follow these steps, bec ignore step number 5, i forgot to erase =_=

Am I retarded? Ok,I ask this question again,but dont be mad.I just want to know more.I am a boy and I am 14 years old.I love politics and history.I hate rap and maths.I love metal(true metal),especially folk/viking and black.I wear a Thors hammer pendant and pagan pentacles.I enjoy archery(I have a reall wooden bow) and I am an equestrian.I dont have friends and I spend my time alone.I LOVE wandering the woods,and I love nature.My hair was long,but I had to cut it,because of the narrow minded people around me.I wander the woods also at night,wearing black clothes and with a sword in my hand.Here is my fav song .So am I retarded or weird? God of Thunder Who crack the sky Swing your Hammer Way up high In chariot of gold Ride across the clouds The black storm is unfold Burning mist is but a shroud Seeds and honey Milk and blood A Sacrifice To Thunder God Laid in ship of Oak On final sail to fate Steel is at side Drifting to the open Gates of Valhalla Shields of gold Valhalla Great warriors hall I swing my sword in the wind I feel the powers all within Valhalla Valhalla God of Thunder Lightning rain The Winds of Glory Whispers your name Pounding pounding Of hooves and wheels Forks of lightning At your heels Sword of steel Held up high Lightning strikes From blackened skies Fallen heroes In Battle slain Awaits my arrival At the gates of Valhalla Shields of gold Valhalla Great warriors hall I raise my fist to the Air In the creed of powers and glory swear [Repeat chorus] (I swing my sword in the wind I feel the powers all within) [Repeat chorus] (I raise my fist to the Air In the creed of powers and glory swear) (Valhalla...) Again......I am very annoying.Please Forgive me.
