Chasseur reacted to Mirabell61 in SS Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse 1897 by Mirabell61 - FINISHED - scale 1:144 - POF - first German four stacker of the Norddeutscher Lloyd line
Many thanks Bill, Denis and Jeff,
Bill,
you`re so right, the Auger is the one for rough timber, thanks for your advise to clear and withdraw the bit. (avoid to get stuck ) I`ll save it up if I ever need to build a log-cabin in the woods
Denis,
yes, I`m very pleased with that tool....
Jeff,
so now there has been found a good solutíon...

Chasseur reacted to kees de mol in Pelikaan 1999 by kees de mol - FINISHED - scale 1/75 - Dutch Beamtrawler
Had some work done on the Pelikaan. All the details under and next to the spraydeck, the fish collecting bin, the railing on the spraydeck and added the fishingline guids on the deck.
Now I want to finish the inside of the bullwark and then i will add the front piece of the ship to the hull. I have to find a solution for the electric wiring.
Kind regards. Kees

Update....
outcome of the 25 mm hole drilling trials...
today I had a pleasant surprise with the fresh received new drilling crown. I had to try it out straight away, and am very pleased with the results....
Nils
good quality tool
the center drill with the (threaded9 adapter can take up diam 14 to 30 mm, drill crowns
cut at 10° angle, no problem with the center drill function
smooth hole sides, no breaking out at surfaces

I would put a 12mm dowel in the bottom of the 25mm dowel. The step would cover any marks in the deck.

Kees that is one very cool picture. These vessels look like early day pilot boats. I love the Church in the background it looks like a bit of a fortress. The vessel on the right does the foremast fold back?

Hi Nils. I didn't realize you were going through that thick of a material. You could step/router the circumfernace cut about 3-5mm into the wood and pin with two dowels that way you wouldn't have to bore all the way through.

Hi Kees
That's going to be a nice contrast you have previewed in the first photo of post #324 of the Wood against the painted Styrene/Steel when you finish up.- great to see you back on deck - Cheers Pete

Thanks Carl,
it was just my thought to slip the funnel tubes over a safely enbedded dowel which fits the inside diam. of the tube smoothly. That should privide a very rigid connection that could also withstand gentle "accidential" knocking against the funnels without doing any harm (like perhaps overstressing the funnel stays)

Can't you affix the dowels to he deck without making the hole ... or use a smaller dowel attached to the funnels

Hey Piet,
Just catching up on this marvellous build. Your workmanship is excellent! Lawrence might be early but in my case better to be late than never!

Option is make a template and affix to deck. Then use a dremel tool with router adapter and plunge cut a hole. Then router all along the circumference and you'll have a perfect circle.

Beautiful work Alexander! You are a master carver*

Chasseur reacted to vossiewulf in Carving from Belgorod
Alexander, yet another thanks for the clear explanation of how you work. I'm hitting myself in the forehead, I have many diamond points for rotary tools, but I never thought of using them in a pin vise.
Also, now I have to get a set of those carving tools too. Sigh.
I'm just starting with ships, haven't yet carved a figurehead, but I have considerable experience with chip carving.
I also have made some of my own tools, this is my general-use knife, it has a blade Ron Hock of Hock Tools made for me, wenge wood handle, and a brass balance piece that I turned on my little lathe.
And this is my X-acto replacement. I have a clear design in my head for a v2 that I want to try to talk Ron Hock into making and selling, basically a quick-change knife like an X-acto but with much heavier blades in various shapes made by Ron Hock, intended to be sharpened and should last for years.

Chasseur reacted to michael mott in Carving from Belgorod
Alexander thank you for showing us these exquisite hand made chisels. The last couple of pictures show us how treasured these fine tools are by their owner. No matter how sophisticated modern machine tools get, there is no substitute for finely crafted hand tools like these.
