Applied colors to the guns and turned out very well. The last time I used black oxyde I cleaned chemically the guns before and had a lot of trouble so I did use it this time and the color turned perfect. For the carriage, possibly the color could be a lighter red but I decided to go a shade darker because when blood dries it is in a darker shade.
I wanted to try Alex method for mass production of pulleys.
For the guns of the seond deck I need about 100, so it is not really faster.
For mass production it assures the same curves in each ones.
Also included a profile of the shape of the pulley. This really facilitates further operarions .
The most difficult is to turn an exact profile for the 2 V curves required.
On the drawing the first cutter is use on 1 and 2.
The second cutter is use on 3 and 4. This part is often not done when making pulleys
Last parts, reddish brown color for the pulleys and the ropes to complete the last parts needed to complete the guns of the first deck.
To make a perfect pulley is not an easy task. The best ones I saw in 25 years came from A french House name S.T.A.B. All the curves were perfect and the blocks were made from boxwood. These were made by a machine, but what this machine looked like, I guess it will be a secret for still a long time.

Brunel's blockmaking machinery at Portsmouth interesting, I did not know about this.
It should be interesting to know how it works.
14 different types of machines were needed to carry out all the processes to make the blocks.

Hi Greg,
I doubt it, There was someone on the french forum who tried to make a machine partly with a lathe but it was not a success.

The last method for centering a square part is quite precise.
If you put it in a lathe collet it will be even more precise.
This is how it is made in jewelry.
Jewelers can teach us a lot of technics.

% of composition is probably the answer. If I would have to give it a name, I think this is probably free machining brass!
The longest part to turn guns is done.
4 knives are use for the top and bottom turning.
Lenght references are done by a reference wood plate, it is mucg faster this way.
The head is done first and then the inside is drilled. This operation is done as late as possible so that the opening dos not enlarge because of the live center.
The bottom part is kept for the last part.

Before I bought stdio flash, I did a lamp with 2 adjustable LED spots. I took it out of the closet and installed it over the working table. You can see on the table top how it illuminates. The last picture is done with these 2 spots.
I also did a table for the next exposition. I tried a new receipe for fast dying and waxiing wood :
Drop Bee wax shavings in a pot cover with odorless turpentine This will make the wax liquid and it will be very easy to apply the wax, and the turpentine will then avporate in the air.
To intensify the color and also to give a greater aged look, add bitumen and mix. Again turpentine will do the same action as it did to the beewax.
For a final ingredient, double the quantity already mixed with tung oil which is also going to help the look of the wood grain m making iti look richer.

To turn the axle for a square, there is no need to use the 4 jaw chuck.
You just need to insert the square axle in a brass tubing. To be able to apply pressure without deforming the brass tubing, 2 cuts in line are enough.

Gaetan Bordeleau got a reaction from mtaylor in Le Colibri 1808 by Fam - scale 1:48 - POB French brick de 24
Hi Fam
In July 1778, French did the first coppering on the frigate l' Iphigénie, imitating the English. Copper was coming from Hambourg, Germany.
There are 2 ways to copper the hull, the easy way and the hard way.
The easy way is back to front and bottom to top.
The hard way, the real method is described in Tome 3, last pages of the 74 guns by Jean Boudriot.
This subject comes back often, you probably also can use the search button.
