Hi Alex,

 

I am very pleased about your nice comment.

 

Here is an update of the report:

 

Completion of the fittings for the carronades.
So now the fittings are manufactured for the carronades. For assembling the brass parts still need to be blacked.
In the following picture you can see almost all the parts to build a Carronade.
 
All parts are now neatly sorted in a plastic box, ready for final assembly. Thus, over 50 items come together for a Carronade. For 20 carronades which means about 1000 parts.

Hi Johann,

From now on I believe that what you keep doing is not impossible or unbelievable because I saw you had done it, this had not been a dream... 

[archjofo]

Hello Ferit,

With a few pictures I explain today the soldering of the Flanges on the tube of the carronades.

Many Thanks Karl.

 

Hello Dear Friends,

gun locks were also used to fire the carronades.

The rifle lock was fastened with a thumb screw.

 

Later percussion locks came into use.

The next picture shows one of the 1849.

The production of the carronades of La Creole continues steadily.

Hello,

the straightening rod from the carronade was secured with a chain.
For this I used a ready-made micro chain of copper wire 0.20 mm.
The ring bolts are made ​​from brass wire 0.25 mm.
Here are some pictures that show these chains.
