Roman reacted to JerryGreening in Bonhomme Richard by JerryGreening - 1:48 scale
Here are some more pictures of the cant frames. These gave me a bit of trouble due to the multiple tapers on them and I ended up making several of each piece before getting some I was happy with.

Before continuing on it is worth mentioning that I was following Ed T's Naiad build on the old site. I copied some of the tools that he made in that log.
The first is a marking guage that can be used to transfer dimensions of the drawings right to the model. The second piece is simply a right angle brace that I temp attached to the jig board at the bow to support that area during construction. The final piece is a right angle wall with a notch cut in the bottom to clear the keel and the cleats. This "Wall" helps ensure that the frames are installed vertically.

The next piece I chose to tackle is the the bow stem. This piece was the most difficult piece I had done at the time. I think it turned out quite well.

Thank you Guys
Here's some more pictures. These would be of the actual deadwood being fitted into the sternpost

Moving on to the lower keel and towards the bow. I treenailed the keel pieces even though these will be covered over by frames later on. They are still visible from the bottom should I be crazy enough to turn the model over later on.

That looks a bit better I think. Thinned down Baltic Pine wood stain applied with a brush :

Hello,
and it goes on with the details of the metal fittings for gun carriages of the carronades.
The sorting box is filling up slowly but surely with the parts of the carronades.

Hello Ferit,
thank you for your nice comment.
So it goes on:

Hello,
here I show the continuation of the construction of the carriages of the carronades.
First, this is about the making of the recesses for the metal fittings.
Next is the production of a metal fitting for pivoting.
It also works outdoors under the sun sail on the terrace.
Because it's much more fun.

Roman reacted to Long9Ron in My Homemade tools - Long9Ron
Well, when the site was down I was in the garage building some more homemade tools. I already built my Wood Lathe http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/126-my-homemade-wood-lathe/ . Here are some pictures of my homemade Table Saw (not mini) and my homemade Drum Sander and my homemade Thickness Sander. No plans or anything, just built them as I went along. I think I put good use of the time spent during the change over, and they work too.

Roman reacted to Snowmans in Home built disc sander
Here are the photos of my 200mm sander. Built this about 2 years ago. The motor was from work and going to be thrown away, so this was rescued. It came with the switch already in place. A base was built from scrap timber, and a backing plate from mdf. The table was from a spare melamine shelf with a window bracket for the angle adjustment. I can fit up to a 230mm sanding disc but only use 200mm as that is what I have. The photos show different stages of the sander, with the yellow backing plate the final color. There is also a 90 and 45 degree angle scribed into the table that cannot be seen in the photos. I am slowly working on a dust collector for this as it goes everywhere at the moment.

Hi Robin
Here's a pic of the companion and a couple of other pics.

More pics and updates; I have modified the transom shape slightly to take out the curve inward above the women's heads. I have also started making new gun carriages. I bought some better looking barrels from Chuck Passaro, I also bought some of Chuck's gun carriages but they are slightly large and the wrong shape for a 4 pounder British gun so I am scratch building them.

I did the helm with the barrel aft of the wheel because thats how it appears on the draught plan of Endeavour made after her return from Cook's voyage. I looked at the helm for a while and realised the rope and blocks would make it hard to stand behind the wheel. So I removed it and turned it around, now it looks like a more workable arrangement.

Today I rigged the mechanism that connects the helm to the rudder tiller. I used copper wire to make the block strops/hooks. First I sanded the blocks and gave them a coat of varnish so that when I blackened the copper the blackening fluid wouldnt soak into the wood. If you blacken the wire before fitting there are usually shiny bits where the pliers leave scratches.
