Gaetan Bordeleau Posted February 17, 2013 Share #1 Posted February 17, 2013 I have a copy of what appeared on MSW. I do not think that putting it back page by page, image by image is the fastest solution. If there would be a section where parts of the ex-forum could be include, I would be more than happy to put a copy. For the moment, I tried to make a big picture of previous work, but I should try with another program. The next update will be for the actual build: Le Fleuron built completely in cherry.

michael mott Posted February 17, 2013 Share #3 Posted February 17, 2013 Hi Gaetan the merged picture although it shows all the pictures it does not show them as larger when I click on any of the smaller images is this how the picture works. it seem to be a simple composite.

Gaetan Bordeleau Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share #4 Posted February 17, 2013 Michael these are many pictures merged to form 1 picture, the idea being to show a recapitulation of the previous build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Mark, For the 74 guns, there is a copy of the log in Microsoft Word about 540 pages. For the 74 guns, there is about 1000 pictures, the most significatives ones, around 130 pictures were extracted for the last Collage. For the last picture, the background can be whatever color you wish, I have tried many colors, but black is the one!

Gaetan Bordeleau Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share #23 Posted March 3, 2013 Here are some blades under the microscope. First 2 are exacto blade and a number 11 blade. A comparison does not explain well why oneis sharper than the other. The only significant difference I saw is that exactoblade has a second relief angle of sharpening. Other are sharp chisels to the eye but when looking closer we see that it is very easy toburn some steel while sharpening or why we need not to hit the blade on hardobject. fatih79 and Elmer Cornish 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaetan Bordeleau Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share #24 Posted March 5, 2013 After sharpening some knives, a lot of notches are done on the beams.

druxey Posted March 5, 2013 Share #25 Posted March 5, 2013 I assume that the extensions are there only for long pieces of stock, Gaetan? Nice microphotographs, too. Is there anything that you are not expert at?

Gaetan Bordeleau Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share #26 Posted March 6, 2013 Hi Druxey, you are right about extensions. Actually the set up is to take 1 by 3 inch, 8 feet long and cut it in 2 feet lenghts, make 2 adjecent sides perpendicular, and make the remaining 2 opposites sides parallel, obtaining a 2 feet long piece perfectly straight. Many blanks are prepared this way. When I need a specific thickness , I use a blank of 1 inch thick, and cut to the desired thickness plus few millimeters extra.To get the the desired thickness at few millimeters close, the piece is pass at the thickness sander. I used microphotograph to see why a knife did not perform well even after a fresh sharpening. If we look the front of the end of the blade, we should see one line, but in few cases one side was thicker and was not coming at 0. This side was not cutting. After correction, it is a joy to use these tools! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaetan Bordeleau Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share #28 Posted March 17, 2013 Gluing partitions walls. To be able to work with the portable close to the desk, the last picture shows a support for it. Already built with angle adjustment for the keyboard, another angle adjustment is added to make sure that the keyboard is perfectly horizontal which was not before because of the weight of the portable. janos, jchbeiner, druxey and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
