yamsterman got a reaction from robin b in hms triton; first attempt at plank on frame
hi all
its about time i did some more work on the cross section.
armament and breeching ropes completed.
ring bolts in place for training tackles.
gangboards in place and brackets for skid beams.
now the problems.
i was unhappy with the stropping on the training tackles so have discombobulated the lot and will start again. should be enough room to get them in!
the other two pairs of brackets dont fit! rather than mess about with them i will remake them.
apart from the gangboard railings and turning some pedastals down from brass were nearly there.
photos of current progress attached.
cheers for now.........mick

Hi mark
I made the breeching rope three times the length of the bore of the gun as per info in swan class practicum. The guns are positioned almost behind the gun port. Still reckon it needs a few extra mm to get to its proper length? No worries there's a couple of other things that need to be redone aswell!
Thanks for the heads up
Cheers.....mick

yamsterman got a reaction from Canute in New monograph : Le Rochefort 1787
Hi Mr Delacroix
Have just received my copy of le rochefort. Beautifully drawn plans and the monograph will be of great help especially with the 3d drawings. Goes a very long way in explaining the relationship between the various timbers. I look forward to making a start in the near future......just triton cross section and chucks cutter cheerful to do first!
Merci !!!!
Cheers....mick

Hi Tony
No worries about diverting the thread! The peatol is in imperial but the collets I'm using are metric!I tend to measure in metric units these daysbut will use imperial if necessary. The lathes from arc are all set machines.I have there miniature mill/drill and compound table which I can't fault. However I did have their co baby lathe which I was less than happy with. The larger lathes may be better. Personally I would prefer to buy UK/us its significantly better made and any electronics are far superior. But its down to personal choice as UK and US machines are significantly more expensive.......but you gets what you pay for!

Hi Tony
Lathe is a peatol or taig if you're in the US. I managed to find one on eBay in reasonable condition for £135. Unfortunately all the extras have to be brought separately. The one thing I didn't like was the three jaw soft aluminium Chuck supplied. Arc eurotrade sell a nice little er16 collet Chuck and collets which is what I shall use for the majority of my turning. However er16 only go up to 10mm . arc also sell a four jaw self centring Chuck and back plate which I shall get asap. Various locking points are provided but are 10-32 unf bolts......soon got fed up of reaching for an Allen key so devised some locking handles in brass using a longer unf bolt as the foundation. Overall I'm quite impressed with the machine....for smaller scale work its ideal...its also whisper quiet.
I would recommend it but be prepared to make a few modifications!
Cheers.....mick

Hi Tony
As an addendum new machines are available from peatol machine tools based in harbourne ,Birmingham,UK.
Check out their website.
Also check out the taig website in the US.
Hope this helps

hi all
been a little busy of late on other non ship building projects. however have managed to do a few bits and pieces.
the display case for triton has been built.
i just need to turn down two support columns from brass.
i have a pile of bits ready to go on the basic hull form.
been diverted by making a new base and some new locking handles for a recently purchased lathe.
cheers for now

yamsterman reacted to archjofo in La Créole 1827 by archjofo - Scale 1/48 - French corvette
Hello Nils,
thank you for your positive response.
Currently I build the long boat for the French corvette. This is the largest boat of La Creole, with a length of 8.5 m.
The following pictures show the first work steps:

Been there ...done that nils. Always tricky holding multiple parts for soldering. I recently invested in a couple of jewelers ceramic boards.....the ones with lots of holes in and some appropriately sized tapered steel pins. I may yet get some carbon wire as well . definite help withtricky soldering jobs.
Cheers....mick

yamsterman got a reaction from mtaylor in HMS Diana by Shipyard sid - Caldercraft - 1/64 scale
Hi all
More off topic comments so I will keep it brief. I believe your lovely guilotene dates back to the days of letterpress printing......specifically for cutting muttons and ends
In the compositors workshop these would have been used to space out the text so that it could be tightly fitted into a frame. Nice alternative use for an old piece of kit!
Back on subject ...nice anchor stock deck planking. I shall be following avidly.
Cheers....mick
