    I cheated. I couldn’t resist the temptation of turning this in the lathe in a minute and a half. Supposed to be assembled from strips, then sanded. Shoot me.

    Done, except hand sanding. .637 to .425 A LOT more demanding than aluminum or nylon or steel on the lathe.

    I just scaled up the weight from my video. Its only about 18.9 pounds in scale. I’ll put a whole gallon on there tomorrow and try to raise it. That’ll be 10 stone. 😂😁 Lmao

    IMG_2582.MOV Single rolls smoothly. But, note to self - sheave pilot holes cannot be .001” off, or line pinch results. 😁 Not using that green garbage wire, just testing.

    I much appreciate the info I get here because I am new at this. The compliments are especially encouraging. I am a retired Porsche factory master engine tech, so when I show these things to my old school mechanic buddies, I get “encouragement” like this….. 😂

    Thanks for that picture, that’s great. I did both parts in cad, then cut them with the laser. Going to draw the doubles next. Still have to taper and chamfer by hand, but that’s for tomorrow at 4:30 am while I still have 100% patience.

    I’m pretty happy with this. I can darken with Danish oil or linseed. If I can pull lines through them after I chamfer, that will be great.

    Thanks a lot for the info. Scale is 1/18 and boat was built in 1776 - US. Sounds like wood it is. Im going to go draw and burn one right now and see how it looks.

    For the sake of authenticity, there is no reference that I can find regarding whether the sheaves were bronze or wood. None were pulled up, and I don’t trust the reproductions on the reproduced boat. I can make them out of “bronze” or wood, but I don’t know which to do?
  24. mediocremodeler
    Walnut single block blank. Hot off the press. Im going to make them functional with wooden sheaves and “forged” pins. what do you guys think???

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
