Gaetan Bordeleau got a reaction from Nenseth in Le Fleuron by Gaetan Bordeleau - FINISHED - 1:24
Hi Mark,
Yes the thread is size 110 made of 2 threads left turned. This means that if I want to turn 3 strands, I will turn right.
For the bullet shape, that sometimes we see made of 1 piece, but in this case it is made in 3 parts with a groove in each one. The utility of this part is obvious if not installed; lines forms too fast and the lines want to tangle.
When you see the swivel in action you would be surprise how much turns it can do.
I added other pictures to try to be clear.
Mainly ropes are made from 3 strands and when I go for anchor cables, I take 3 of these to make a bigger cable.
The largest number I used was round 576 lines for one anchor cable. Without excel tables it would have taken too much try to get the right diameter.

I wanted some kinds of flowers on the ceiling.
I looked in the past, to find a solution in the present.
This vase from b J.C. Delafosse has the same style, few years too late but the curve of the profile is what I was looking for.

Except for 2 dolphins and 1 set of flowers, we have a good idea of what the side view will look like.
As for the white background , for a piece of 8 feet large, I still need some practice

Ed, you nailed it.
5 minutes, 2 parts epoxy worked very good to apply plates, enough time to position and then masking tape to hold till it dries.

Recently, I saw many variations in machine to turn ropes. Also I saw many complaints about the in stability of the cotton. By using a good linen quality, none of these problems will occur. Here is the version of the turning machine I use which has a major advantage on the other models.
This machine uses a swivel at one end. This is a mechanical insurance that the torsion in the ropes will be adequate. Other methods I saw, the rotation ratio is adjusted by eyes and for this reason is approximate.
Picture 1; gears, motor and variable speed control, reverse switch to turn left or right
Picture 7; at the other end of the rope, there is a swivel used for fishing. This is a very important part because the swivel mechanically adjust how much rotation is needed to equilibrate the torsion in the ropes. This swivel is held on a trolley which compensate for the diminution of the lenght of the ropes when turning.
Picture 15 and 15a; 2 wooden nails showing the color of the french ropes around 1750 reddish brown
Picture 33 : samething shown by Boudiot
Picture 55 : high quality linen, expensive but very stable to temperature and humidity
