ancre La Créole 1827 by archjofo - Scale 1/48 - French corvette

[archjofo]

Hallo Ferit,

sorry, wrong translated.
Is not called thread but fathom (= 1.8 m or six English feet).

[Gahm]

Each detail in your model turns out to be a little masterpiece on its own!

Hello,
thanks for the positive comments and the others for the LIKES.

The buoys for the anchors are made.

Here is a picture with all buoys.

 

[GrandpaPhil]

That is incredible!

[druxey]

Very impressive work, Johann, especially your metalwork.

[Gahm]

Absolutely amazing!

Hello,
thanks for your feedback and "Likes", I appreciate your support a lot.
Currently I am producing the Gaff and the Boom for the Corvette.
There were many interesting details to clarify. So z. B. is located on the Gaff peak a small metal block for the national flag.
What is still to be clarified is the design of the Gaff goosenecks the boom.

Lovely work Johann.

[druxey]

Very impressive! Nicely done, Johann.

[Ferit]

Each one is as a picture frame from a parade!...

 

[archjofo]

Hello,

thank you all for your positive feedback.
After a long time back and forth I have for the following execution of the
gooseneck decided.

And I oriented myself primarily to contemporary drawings.
I hope that it is reasonably acceptable.

Hello Thomas,
recognized correctly, these are thin brass strips.

This I cut with the table saw of a brass sheet is 0.25 mm thick.
After the provisional adjustment of the ring diameter (slightly smaller than necessary), the two ends are brazed with silver solder.
For this I form the ring so that the obliquely filed ends touch on pressure.

Hi archjofo  - In awe of your beautiful precision wood and metal work - I've been sitting here looking at the Buoy rings and your description of how you made them - and trying to think how one cuts 1/4 mm brass sheet with a table saw?? would you be able to let a mere mortal know how you do that please - Cheers Pete

[archjofo]

Hello Pete,
of course, I'll let you know how to cut a brass sheet 0.25 mm thick with a small table saw.

I think that this pictures brings the best explanation.
It works even better with a few drops of cutting oil.

Of course, a saw blade for non-ferrous metals is required.

Johann,

 

Do you have a seperate blade for this purpose, or do you use the blade for wood also? How many teeth per 1" ...

 

Cheers

[archjofo]

Hello Carl,

I use this saw blade from Proxxon:

If necessary, I also cut hardwood.

[cog]

Thank you Johann

[PeteB]

Thank you Johann I had imagined such a narrow width would have been distorted by the contact with blade but not so - Thank you for posting the photos by way of explanation -cheers Pete

[druxey]

One needs a HSS slitting blade and zero-clearance table insert to successfully cut such narrow strips.

Or a jewelers saw and a steady hand.

As an armchair experiment:

use double sided tape or rubber cement to fix the metal sheet

to a 1/8- 1/4" piece of pine and run that thru the saw.

A blind cut on a thicker piece of wood would be even safer.

Disadvantage = more than one cut would require removal and

reattachment of the metal to the carrier.. 

advantage = the blade would not cut any wood on a second pass.

or the notch could be there from the beginning.

Hello,

I would like to present you a new Video LINK today.
It shows the main stages of making the masts for the French corvette.
I hope that you like it.

 

[cog]

That's educational Johann. Thanks for sharing

Very nicely done.

Hello Johann, beautiful video and beautiful work, thank you

 

[archjofo]

Hello Paul, Druxey, Maury and Daniel,

I am glad that you like my video.
Thanks to all for your interest and participation.

Right now I am preparing for the rigging for the French corvette.
I intend to make the ropes myself. A modeler friend designed a ropewalk for me.

The ropewalk has a length of 5 m and consists of two parts.

Currently I am trying to find suitable base material. Preferably I would use linen yarn for this purpose. It is very difficult to get the right yarn.

I have already received many valuable information from ED. I am very grateful to him for that.

Today I received a linen yarn that I immediately compared to the cotton yarn from DMC.

Note that the linen yarn is turned to the left, unlike the cotton yarn, which is turned to the right.
In the next few days, the first attempts to produce the ropes will start.

[cog]

the linnen thread looks like it has vastly more fibers sticking out. Won't that pose a problem on the end result?

[archjofo]

Hello,

that must show a try.

Currently I am still looking for a suitable power supply to
to be able to run the transmission for the ropewalk.
