  1. Mass production of the carriages starts. 20 carriages will be produced.
  2. I am using pear wood, Greg. It is a solid but easily processed wood.
  3. For this scale, a router bit with a radius of 9 mm will be needed, and I don't think our MF70 has the torque to turn it while under load, but you can still try it.
  4. I'm sorry the drill bits didn't work, Jon. I have used them to drill brass sheets with a maximum thickness of 0.8 mm and they worked well, but I have never worked with thicknesses above this.
  5. Greg, since I had to cut a large surface at the beginning of the job, I used a 2 mm cutter, which I thought it would be more durable, but 1 mm can also be tried.
  6. Because I wasn't happy with what I did before, I created a table that showed me how I should move the router bit in order to give the appropriate shape to the rear part of the carriage, which was difficult to make, and I milled accordingly. Thus, I achieved a more suitable profile. I can say that I acted like a CNC machine in a way.
  7. Prototype carriage completed and tested on the deck.
  8. Thank you Greg. A modeller friend of mine made the carronades for me with lathe.
  9. Unfortunately, I think it would not be possible to work with an ogee bit of this size on my micro milling machine. In the meantime, I'm working on a prototype carriage for testing. Then I will start mass production.
  10. Actually, I'm not very happy with the result. I'm looking for ways to do it better. Is there a router bit you can recommend?
  11. Yes, there are traces of layers on mine too, but since I painted them, I didn't care much. The best way for you is to make templates and cut them out.
  12. Current overview of the model. I continue with carronade carriages. I'm making the side parts of the carriages with my milling machine.
  13. I really like your farm. How nice, you live in harmony with nature. No, I'm not a carpenter, I'm a mechanical engineer, but I'm retired now. I loved working with wood when I was a child, but I started this hobby after retiring about 6 years ago. I completed 3 kits and 3 scratch build, over time I started to like what I am doing, but the first ones I made seem very amateurish to me now, while your first model is a complete masterful work.
  14. These knees are parts that can be added whenever you want. I don't think anything was late or forgotten.
