I thought that we were referring to figure 19 in Falconer, not 18, Mark! In any case, it appears that the breech rope has been shortened in figure 19 in order to secure the gun against the bulwark - it's not in 'action' position and cannot be run in. Presumably one end of the breeching at the bulwark is loosened from the ringbolt, pulled taut and re-secured. -
Great cut-away detail like the brick-work and the bolts forelocked outside the ports!

This is my last shot (pun intended) on this topic! A cut splice in the breeching would allow for some lateral movement in a gun trained around and firing, without slewing it back on recoil. The later pattern of gun with a cascabel ring would allow the same degree of freedom, but without the complication of making a cut splice.

I've no idea, I'm afraid, Mark. This topic seems to be in uncharted waters.

My only concern with your sketch B is that, were the breeching to slip up over the gun on recoil, the line would scorch due to gases being expelled through the vent at that moment.

Ah, then you'll appreciate a neat suture line even more, Tony.

Very nicely executed, Tony. Best wishes for a successful outcome for you next week! Show your surgeon these photos and tell him/her that you expect a similar level of accuracy and neatness.

Preprinted lines
druxey replied to achuck49's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
Tracing paper and pencil, then use graphite paper to transfer down the lines on the blank side. Use tape to make sure the traced pattern does not slip! Graphite paper should be available at your local Michael's or art store. -
Very nice, Michael!

Nicely executed, Ben. I bet when you actually got to doing it, it wasn't as bad as you expected.

Holding small parts for soldering
druxey replied to BETAQDAVE's topic in Metal Work, Soldering and Metal Fittings
A silver soldering trick I learned from a jeweler was to use soft iron wire to hold the parts. This may 'stick' a bit, but it does the trick nicely! -
Impressive impression!
