Thanks guys. Actually it's for an American ship of the line ca 1815.

It means: iron (steel, pig-iron) guns without a decor.

Found this link below and thought it might be helpful to others.

Thanks for the link! 

Can someone please tell me where to buy these for a model? Can't seem to find any. 

Regards,

On a photo the template from aluminum for production of a framework of gun ports is shown

Motionless details of a template are stuck together among themselves CA (capacity with CA is visible on a background). The template sustained production of several tens framework and further is suitable for use.

Really, grinding drums available on sale have too rough sandpaper which should be replaced.

For these dead eye the corresponding chain are made of a brass wire with a diameter of 0,75 and 1,5 mm. The template in the form of the brass cylinder with a diameter of 7 mm pierced under diameters of dead eye is used. The brass hoops which go around the deadeyes are soldered by a gas torch with application of argentiferous solder (40% of silver). In this case application of soft solders on the basis of tin gives insufficiently strong connection which can easily collapse at installation and a tension of shrouds  http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/82-montanes-by-garward-occre/page-12

СA is better to glue metal details, but thus surfaces have to be pure, and amount of glue minimum (literally droplets). Surplus of СA when drying gives a white raid.

Thanks Garwood, I didnt think that a piece of wood wedged would stay in place. I will be making a few of different sizes for myself.

In vain you think that the wooden wedge won't hold sandpaper. Such fastening of sandpaper on drums is widely applied in various machines, there is only a difference in a wedge material - a tree, plastic, rubber, metal. On a photo - the Vanda-Lay firm machine with similar fastening of sandpaper.

Hi Commander,  thank you wery much for your "dokumentation" of the jig saw...

Tylmo

Always please, Tylmo,  I am glad that this documentation is of interest for you  .

In summary I wish to tell that meanwhile jig saw I am satisfied by work, though already there are ideas for its completion. I wish to tell also that all who heard work jig saw  and FET (relatives, friends, neighbours), mark essential reduction of noise in comparison with FET (on hearing of time in two).

Wonderfully made piece of equipment. There's just something about making it yourselve. In my chemistry research I had the chance to disasemble for repair and maintainance many wonderful toys, but the one I'll always remember is the instrument I built and did the bulk of my research work on.

Bet it works like a dream, looks like the rip fence can be installed on either side of  for left or right cutting.

Beautiful piece of equipment,

Thanks for the comment! Finally I managed to construct the tool almost completely corresponding to my initial plans.

On a photo 41 "stuffing" of a network box is shown – a nest of connection of a network cable, the button of management and the magnetic actuator which I have decided to establish starting with enough decent capacity of the engine.

The table rotates on a steel axis in diameter of 6 mm which ends are fixed in vertical steel racks (corners) in the thickness of 3 mm (photo IMG _2109). Turn on 30 degrees of the flywheel shown on the same photo provides moving directing on a table surface on 1 mm, turn on 3 degrees gives according to 0,1 mm.

For a cutting of preparations under various corners the device  by a protractor from saw FET which moves on directing along a lateral surface of a table (a photo 38 – 40) is used.
