aviaamator got a reaction from Valeriy V in La Jacinthe 1825 by aviaamator - 1:20 - schooner
In the manufacture of stay , I used a thick needle and a medical needle. The whole process in the photo. To be honest, this work is very exciting! Does anyone else do the same?

Johann,
I are you giving the finished rope a final "pull" by hand after spinning. Grasping a length with your hand and giving it a sharp pull will help set the turns.

Johann! Cables are clearly not enough load when twisting, they look weakly twisted. Strands should fit snugly to each other. Try to take the cable in a vertical position and measure the maximum length of this part of the cable, the longer-the better! My cotton cable.

Just seen this log for the first time, your work is first rate, each step of the build is work of the finest craftsmanship.
Absolutely superb!

aviaamator reacted to CharlieZardoz in 19th Century 31-ton Revenue Cutter by CharlieZardoz - Scale 1/64 - building as USRC Active based off Doughty plans and BlueJacket Shipcrafters kit
Hey there fellow builders! So I finally had a chance to start cataloging all the work I have been doing on my revenue cutters alongside Sultana. Sultana is proceeding slowly but surely as will soon be updated, however as some of you may know at the last ship model convention in Connecticut I won a kit of Bluejacket's 31 ton revenue cutter. From the moment I got it I couldn't help but start tinkering with it. The reason why I put this in the scratch section is because I plan on building all my ship models (at least for the moment) in 1/64th scale since I like to be able to make size comparisons. Therefore this log will be an exercise in how to properly resize a kit to a preferred scale. So what of the kit itself? Fortunately the ship comes in 3 sizes and at 1/64th scale the 51 ton falls in a similar size to the 31 ton at 1/48 scale. So in addition to a smaller 31 ton I am going to scratch build, I will also use the wood hull and some of the kit materials to also build the 51 ton ship. The wood block and plans must be modified but let's go over the details and I will show you how I have been proceeding
Also if for whatever reason this log should be moved to the kit section then by all means as I wasn't sure which section to put it.

Hello Karl, Ozark and aviaamator,
thank you for your interest and nice comments.
Also thank you for the LIKES.
In the meantime, I have started a first attempt to make ropes.
The left rope is my attempt, the right one is a purchased rope.
For this experiment, I simply used polyester yarn. For each hook I pulled 6 threads, that is 3 x 6.
As can be seen in the picture, the strands of my rope is not strong enough.
In addition, I will make many attempts to collect even with linen yarn many experiences.
The ropewalk has to be motorized at the "looper". With thinner strands, the twist may not be enough to form the rope.

Thank you Johann I had imagined such a narrow width would have been distorted by the contact with blade but not so - Thank you for posting the photos by way of explanation -cheers Pete

Hello Carl,
I use this saw blade from Proxxon:

If necessary, I also cut hardwood.
