    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,
    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.

    I've recently acquired this book from SeaWatch books - basically because I love modelling books, but also because this looks like a beautiful model from a period a little earlier than most of the builds here at MSW. I don't see any build logs for this ship on MSW 2.0 and was wondering if anyone had actually built this, or was in the process of building it?
    It's a lovely book, by the way, and the colour photo section is gorgeous.

    Hi Ayutansin,
    many thanks for your nice comment.
     
    Here an update for building of the carronades.
     
    The guide pins on the top of the sliding carriage carronades is made ​​of brass.
    Here some images of explaining the process of manufacture.

    Yes, I use it. I even want to install more beams of the upper deck, which has not yet made ​​that would see exactly how to do it correctly.

    Recently I was doing grating and would like to talk about a device that made my friend Sergey from Russia.
    I think the principles of easy to see from the photos.
    I myself could not do it out of iron, but I made out of wood and it works the same way.
    I hope it will be useful to many.

    Karl,
    Those are ladders.  The French used a notched post/pole.  I think it was to save space.  I have those on my Licorne.

    Kevin,
     
    I'd start with something with less guns than a 74.  But that's just me...  The Alfred or maybe the Billy Ruffian is on my bucket list, though. 
    Aldo and Micheal,
    Perhaps the best way to explain these pumps is with a video...

    I got the first one done.. actually I got two done, but the second went flying off into the ether.  Must be a space warp or time gate in my workshop.... 
     
    First pic shows an overall side view.
     

     
    The next one is through a gunport to show it in position.
     

     
    I'm hating the macro.. shows every nick and bit of dirt....  I still need to make the pump rod.
    And a confession.. that's not metal.  The straps are paper and the pipe is some insulation stripped from a wire.

    Time for an update... been much going on in real life and in the shipyard.  Janet's healing nicely and is ahead of therapy.  She hopes to be back in the pool in about 2 weeks.  Work is still a four-letter word.
     
    The gundeck is finally and completely planked.       
    At least for now the planking is version MkIV there may be a MkV.  Per the picture, the yard crew is sanding and holystoning the deck. The left side is in progress.  The right awaits them and their implements of smoothness.
     
    Version MkI was an attempt at planking where the planks follow the run of the hull. The planks have a curve to them.  I started by full-width at mid-ships and planned to taper at bow and stern.  After about 50% planked, I found that I needed to do some drop planks so off I went.. However, at 1/8" (approx. 3mm) wide planks, I soon realized I was making mess and ripped out the planks.
     
    Which lead to MkII.  Nibbed!!!  I put in a margin plank and started nibbing.  Again, the width of the planks became an issue along with, as I found out, the French at that point time didn't use nibbing.  Yep... ripped it out.
     
    The, MkIII...hooked scarfs.   Yes.!!!..  Hmm... er.. no.  Needed wider planks. Nothing in stock. Rip out the few planks installed and back to the drawing board.
     
    So we come to MkIV.  I've ordered sufficient stock of silver maple in boards of sufficient dimensions to permit hook scarfs.  But decided not to wait.  Figured since about 75% of the gundeck won't be seen ("uh-oh", the crowd mummers) I'd figure out a method.  Got out the dremel and put a groove into the lower part of the waterway where it meets the beams thinking I could slide the deck planks into the groove and give the appearance of the waterway on top of the planks.   That works.
     
    When the wood gets here, I'll make another executive decision on ripping it out and doing it right, or letting it go and do the forecastle and the quarterdeck "properly".   The decision will be based upon how does it look with a ship's boat, guns, etc in place.  Once the sanding is done, and I've made some cardboard cutouts to see exactly what's visable and what isn't, I'll decide.   Before I get hit with "that's not the way the real ones were done"... I know.  I'm taking similar liberties at this point much like H. Hahn.  No knees for the deck beams, etc.  His pictures show planking much like what I have done, but admittedly.. I'm no H. Hahn.
