Looks great Erik! I'm taking notes here. All these fantastic build threads give lots of solutions to things that may pop up when I've got a few builds under my belt and finally build my own Cheerful. Cheers, Todd

New Proxxon Eccentric Clamping Fixture
Tossedman replied to GGibson's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Cool! I may need one of these. -
Thanks for looking into this @Thukydides and sharing your finds. Apparently I bought that book years ago but its location escapes me at the moment. Great idea about the paper boat outlines @iMustBeCrazy and thanks for the information and links. All great info. I have the plans for Cheerful and am slowly collecting the resources to build it but will have to build a few other models beforehand to get my skill set up to par for such a model. I was just curious about where they might be on such a small ship. Thanks for the Alert reference and images of your Cheerful @Blue Ensign. It looks fantastic. Really goes to show how crowded the deck of a cutter would have been. Your 14' cutter looks quite large on deck in your images. Ship's boats of 20' or 22" would have really filled these ship's deck. Cheers, Todd

I'm curious as to what ship's boats would have been carried on a cutter like Cheerful or Surly and where they may have been stowed. Any ideas out there? Cheers, Todd

It's also available in the Amazon Kindle store for the same price. Actually, cheaper! I just bought it for $2.99 Canadian.

Posting photos in build log problems
Tossedman replied to Desertanimal's topic in Photographing your work. How to do this.
You can change your iPhone so it stores images as jpg files instead of HEIC files. Step 1: Go to iPhone Settings > Camera. Step 2: Now, tap Formats. Here, choose Most Compatible under Camera Capture. This will save you some effort in the future. It won't change any of the images you've already taken though. Here's a link to an online converter from HEIC to jpg. I haven't used this one but have used ones that only do one image at a time. This one apparently does batches in folders, so you may be able to do them all at once. https://to.imagestool.com/heic-to-jpg Cheers, Todd -
3D Printing Cannons in Resin
Tossedman replied to thibaultron's topic in 3D-Printing and Laser-Cutting.
Hi Ron, I had the carronade with trunnions that you designed 3D printed by a fella with a resin printer. Here's my first crack at mounting one on a carriage. Thanks again for providing the files. Cheers, Todd

Those look great Erik! What did you use for the cap squares? Cheers, Todd

I've been playing around on Heroforge, a website used by gamers to create miniatures for their games. The site lets you pick how the character will look and you are able to pose them. I tried to make them look more human and less toy like and here's what I have come up with. I don't have a resin 3D printer yet but have downloaded the STLs and will get them printed and see how they look. Here's what I've come up with. Not perfect but interesting nonetheless. Cheers, Todd

These PCB drills work great in my little Proxxon drill press. Rarely break one because they are in a drill press and go straight up and down. I use collets so they run straight and true. When I put them in a pin vice it's like Paul says, they just screw in. Can't seem to get up to the required RPM by twisting them with my fingers. 😉 Rich, thanks for the heads up on the Foredom bits. Time to take a look around for some. Cheers, Todd

These look great Chuck. I don't know much about resin printing but is there stronger resin that would allow for 1/4 scale?
-
I've had some of Ron's 9 pounder carronades resin printed. Found a local guy here to print them as my FDM printer is not up to snuff for such fine detail. Here's one with a coat of primer. I think it looks great. Thanks again Ron for sharing your STL files of these cannons. Next steps are some black paint and weathering and then off to the laser cutter to cut a carriage. Cheers, Todd
-
Looks great Chuck! What are you using as the pins that hold the wheels onto the axles of your carriages? Cheers, Todd
-
Looks great! Thanks again! Todd
-
Looks fantastic Ian! Well done! Nicely equipped shop as well. Both the ship and shipyard are something to aspire to. Cheers, Todd
-
Wow, looks great Ron! Thanks for jumping onto this one so quickly! Just one small thing. Should the trunnion be slightly below the centre line of the barrel as in the quoted drawing above? Cheers, Todd
-
Your 3D printing efforts look fantastic Chuck. Looking forward to trying some out. How hard would it be to a loop for the breeching tackle on carronade barrels? Something like this: Cheers, Todd
-
Looks great Ian! Off to a great start. Nice to see that you're putting that CNC mill to use. Cheers, Todd

Hobby Shop in Hamilton, Ontario
Tossedman replied to Guybrush's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
I'm not from Hamilton but stumbled across this on Reddit Cheers eh, Todd. -
Wow! These look great!

I'd be up for a set of 1/48. Like KenW said, they look amazing.

So good! Everything here is aspirational for me. Some day! What are the capsquares made of? Did you laser cut them in one pass? Not sure as to how you'd go about that process? Cheers, Todd
