New mini-mill... CNC and impressive
mtaylor replied to mtaylor's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Duff, The mess wouldn't bother me or the Admiral. But that tech is way above my pay grade. I leave AutoCAD to the others. -
New mini-mill... CNC and impressive
mtaylor replied to mtaylor's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
I just think it's a pretty amazing bit of kit. I watched the video with my mouth hanging open. There's a lot of 3 axis CNC mills but this just boggled me. But, I'll never want to machine a small scale V- 8... -
I'm just playing "catch up", John.... Looking great. I see that the finish line is in sight.

I saw this on another site and all I can say is "Wow".... Even though I'm confirmed toolaholic, I don't think I'll be ordering one under the threat of being put before the mast, flogged around the fleet, keelhauled and then hung from the highest yardarm. For some reason I'm not able to embed the video.. maybe me, maybe my browser.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4et9a7MwxLs&feature=youtu.be And two relevant links: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1090944145/pocket-nc-the-first-5-axis-cnc-mill-for-your-deskt http://www.pocketnc.com/

I wish you hadn't waited so long. This is a beautiful ship you are doing.
-
It would appear that the English monograph, etc. might be shipping early. I received an email on Friday asking if I wanted these materials shipped separately or together as one shipment.
-
Tom, The three monographs I have, basically have everything you need to build. Line sizes, rigging points and assorted details such as "wormed" or served", boats, fittings, etc. The only thing lacking is in the Belle Poule monograph and that's the frames. I don't think you'll be disappointed by any of their monographs.

OC, Have some fun that pup. Our Yorkie is now a bit older than 3 and she still acts like a pup.
-
Excellent work on the flags, Bug. I like the way they hang and drape....

Dr. Per, Those look like these: http://www.micromark.com/SearchResult.aspx?deptIdFilter=0&searchPhrase=clamps+brass I have some and they are great. Edit: I found that Lee Valley has them also... http://www.leevalley.com/us/wood/page.aspx?p=31169&cat=1,43838

Beautiful work, Piet. The paint makes everything pop.

Nice work, Gabe. And that's a neat trick with the calipers.

Echo by Maury S - FINISHED - Cross-Section
mtaylor replied to Maury S's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1751 - 1800
Beautiful, Maury... a feast for the eyes. What Druxey asked..... what's up next??? -
From the bits and pieces I've read, the topmost sails were set first. The Brits knew the fleet was coming out prior to the Battle of Trafalgar because the French and Spanish were setting the top gallants and top royals. I'm sure there's some books around that would describe this process... but darned if I know which ones.
-
Were the boilers salvaged pretty soon after the wreck? I'd assume same for the engine?
-
Chalk up another error to AOTS.
-
Interesting to say the least. AOTS Diana doesn't show crowsfeet either which I would have thought was pretty standard for the period.
-
Tom, You can send them an email in English. What I've done in the past is write it in English and then put a Google translation right after it. What they do is not a separate drawing on other monographs I've seen but include the boats on the sheets for deck fittings. None of us English speaking types have the monograph yet, as only French is available right now. The English version is coming after the first of the year.
-
Can you post a picture or two? That might help, along with manufacturer (if it's a kit)?
-
Sure, I can divulge... but not take pictures or "try it out". I was allowed to inspect the contents and then it has to be put away for the next 7 days and a wake-up. A new laser tube for the laser cutter. It will boost power from roughly 32W steady state to 45W steady state. I'm hoping to cut 3/16" boxwood in one pass at a good rate of speed with minimal V-ing of the kerf. If that works... I'll give 1/4" boxwood a shot. I felt (and so did some others) that I needed more power. Anyway, the extension for the cabinet is arriving tomorrow. Need to modify the case as the old tube is 850mm and the new tube 1000mm long.. and a bit bigger in diameter. Hmmm....If I got a tube big enough, I wonder if I could build a Death Star? Surrender? No.. attack in a different direction... err.. hmm.... Admiral... yep... surrender.

Matti, The hull is looking good, and that shipyard has everything one could wish for.. including a Panzer.
