Thanasis got a reaction from EricWilliamMarshall in 2 block questions
You could increase the pressure of you clamping tweezers, just placing another kind of clamp around its points...

Thanasis got a reaction from EricWilliamMarshall in The super-beginners guide to stropping and whipping blocks.
Hi all.
I don't want to underestimate your method Ron, I just to take the chance to show how easier my seizing method is (as I think...),
also on fastening block in an eyelet.
So at first you should take a look there: A way of seizing (my way)
Then my below sketch will show you another way.
Many thanks

Thanasis got a reaction from mtaylor in carronade information
Many thanks Lieste. I much apreciate your info.
I checked the pdf file with "Caruana" (Ctrl+F) but it seems I missed it...

Thanasis got a reaction from mtaylor in carronade information
Hi all and Happy New year.
Thanks for the file Lieste. Since it's been a previous discussion from which you know I'm interested about 48lib (gun or carronade) could you please give me a source where I can find more about what is written in the pdf file.
Professor Robison....“cast over the core”. This meant that hollow shot for the 68-pdr carronade weighed about 48lbs... (Caruana 1997, 168).
I couldn't find something about "Caruana" (Captain ?)
Many thanks

Thanasis reacted to Lieste in carronade information
Pre-1780-82 (ish) carronades are shorter, lacking the extension cup forward of the muzzle rings, as well as having a shorter true bore to those rings. The longer bore and the loading cup/flash hider improved ballistic performance and made firing carronades in the way of rigging less harmful to the ship.
This is incomplete, as records were largely destroyed when the Carron pattern room was cleared and the obsolete patterns destroyed, but has a reasonable coverage from what does remain.

Hi Dave.
At first thank you that you 're giving me the chance to point out again, the advantage of my tip of my way of seizing.
So to answer to your query my suggestion is go and see how I do my seizings there:
https://modelshipworld.com/topic/26297-a-way-of-seizing-my-way/?tab=comments#comment-764615
Then, place and secure your eyelet in its position and follow the stages in my sketch.
After cutting the edges of all threads (last stage), you will have a tight rigging line with a decent seizing.
I hope you'll be helped.
Thx

Thanasis got a reaction from mtaylor in 48pdr cannon
I thank you both.!
@Lieste. I think your translation for the Ottoman's cannons (36pdr-48pdr) is giving sense to what I wrote in post 34-52, where the gunnery of the Gr ships, was upgrading every after a victorious naval fight and the historical record, that "Terpsichore" was searching for guns in Ottoman frigate wreck in Erresos. She might gained such a gun from there.!?
It's also make sense that you would consider of 5x 12pdr guns, and a single 18pdr of 8 or 9ft in the prow but you should know that Greeks, are not always follow the common sense...
And the riddle is getting worst ,since this text says for 11 guns while Gr historic texts say for 7 in total (3x12pdr in each side and a 48pdr in the bow).
Thank you

Thanasis got a reaction from mtaylor in 48pdr cannon
Thank you Waltemar.
As I have written (post 47) we decided to built the model of her gun, based on what most people have read or imagine and on the plans that Delacroix posted (post 12) which are given as an example in a text of a historian.
We had to follow the paths where, either Tompazis had followed the developments on artillery, or he just had the thought to upgrade his poor gunnery and place a loot on her schooner.
It's me, from our search team that I am (still ) following the first path, trying to find whether it might be something else...
Thank you

Thanasis got a reaction from Roger Pellett in 48pdr cannon
Mates, since the model of schooner "Terpsichore" is going to exhibited in a Anniversary exhibition "Greece 1821-2021" this weekend,
here is a photo of her and the famous 48pdr cannon.
The model has been built by my friend George Bouzounis whose some models of him you can see in below links.
