Pounder's Marine Diesel Engines and Gas Turbines. Awesome book. Available in PDF if you do a quick Google search.

EDIT: Sorry, but yes... the hydraulic jack does apply the appropriate torque for the bolt and helps release it.

Great for river brawling. Kind of interesting how for that brief period of time, naval armor totally outmatched naval firepower.


Edit: You should check out The Naval History of the United States Volume I and Volume II if you haven't already. They have some great accounts of early US Naval battles, including lots of the river campaigns of the Civil War. Best of all the kindle edition is free.

I spend five years working on it on and off.

This is definitely something an amateur can attempt. I just had a tiny bit of experience helping my dad build a much simpler boat, and no real woodworking experience of my own when I started, so it's definitely doable. Just take is slowly, step-by-step, puzzle through it logically, and you'll be fine.

If you're truly interested, read this book and lurk on the Glen-L forum. You'll find there's a lot of people trying this for the first time.
