Rustyj Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share #362 Posted February 21, 2014 Thank you all for stopping by and the likes. Thanks Dubz. Mark I wouldn't want to be standing next to when it was fired let alone be down range when she let loose! Thanks Bob I am really happy with how she looks. Hi Grant. Sorry to disappoint but I played with one 1/2" dowel while waiting for the rod to arrive. Now I will make a confession. Machine equipment is no stranger to me. When I was a young'in I had training in machining engines. I could bore an engine block, hone a cylinder or machine a head to a couple of thousandths. I just never played with a lathe. Also it's been 37 plus years since I used any of that equipment so I wasn't sure if any feel was left. Now all you lathe users I have a bit of a bone to pick with you! No one ever mentioned how messy these things are. Now I'm no neat freak by any means but man it makes a mess. Here is a the cannon barrel turned to the correct taper . And here it is completed except I have now realized that I don't have a cut off tool! Oh goody something new to get! I can see where this can be very addictive.

mtaylor Posted February 21, 2014 Share #363 Posted February 21, 2014 Messy???? I don't see a mess. I see a productive workspace. Use your smallest cutting tool as a cut off tool for now. Hate to see you twiddling your thumbs and wanting to make some metal shavings.

Rustyj Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share #364 Posted February 23, 2014 Hi Mark, I guess I'm very productive then cause I've surely made a mess. No thumb twiddling going on here although work has gotten in the way a bit. As suggested I cut as deep as I could and the used a jewelers blade to finish the cut. Here is the first barrel painted and just set in the carriage. Now comes the fun part! Trying to duplicate a second barrel that comes close to the first. fatih79, harvey1847, mtaylor and 8 others 11 Quote Rusty "So Long For Now" Current Builds: Speedwell Completed Build Logs: HMS Winchelsea 1/48 Duchess of Kingston USF Confederacy , US Brig Syren , Triton Cross Section , Bomb Vessel Cross Section, Cutter Cheerful, Queen Anne Barge, Medway Longboat Completed Build Gallery: Brig Syren , 1870 Mississippi Riverboat , 1949 Chris-Craft 19' Runabout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtaylor Posted February 24, 2014 Share #367 Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) Beautiful work Rusty. Somewhere around here is series of photos showing a Sherline set up with a homemade duplicator, but darned if I can find it. I'll have to search the Scratch Builds... Yeah.. more toys. Edit... nope not a Sherline but a Unimat... same principle would apply: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/410-hms-sphynx-by-alex-m-scale-148-english-20-gun-frigate-as-build-1775/?p=5559 Re-edit: ok.. here's the Sherline version: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/198-hms-atalanta-by-tlevine-1775-148-scale-from-tffm-plans/?p=82667 Re-re-edit: Here's a link to one you can buy: http://www.vanda-layindustries.com/html/duplicator.html Ever have one of those days when everything is a do-over?

WackoWolf Posted February 24, 2014 Share #368 Posted February 24, 2014 The company Van Lays make a duplicator for the Sherline. I know I didn't spell the name of the company right but if you do a search on Google you will find it. Quote Wacko Joe Go MSW :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druxey Posted February 24, 2014 Share #369 Posted February 24, 2014 With your machining skills, you could easily make your own duplicating device.

Rustyj Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share #370 Posted February 25, 2014 Thanks Augie and Ben! Hi Mark, Yes toys I mean tools are great! I can see where a duplicator would be a god send! Edit...Though it's not a Sherline the Unimat link was very informative. Re-edit: Sherline version is great too. Re-re-edit: Vanda-lay link will save me a bunch of searching. Re-re-re edit: Do-over's. It seems everyday has to many do-overs! Thanks Joe. druxey, the design and execution is a bit over my head at this point but maybe in the future. Ok here is the result of the duplication. An acceptable job. Not perfect but they won't be right next to each other so all should be good. cristikc, gjdale, harvey1847 and 6 others 9 Quote Rusty "So Long For Now" Current Builds: Speedwell Completed Build Logs: HMS Winchelsea 1/48 Duchess of Kingston USF Confederacy , US Brig Syren , Triton Cross Section , Bomb Vessel Cross Section, Cutter Cheerful, Queen Anne Barge, Medway Longboat Completed Build Gallery: Brig Syren , 1870 Mississippi Riverboat , 1949 Chris-Craft 19' Runabout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtaylor Posted February 25, 2014 Share #371 Posted February 25, 2014 Rusty, Druxey is right. With your skills, you make one. I think the Sherline and Unimat are "close" as far as what would be needed. As for do-overs... Rats!!! This means every day is Groundhog Day.

WackoWolf Posted February 26, 2014 Share #373 Posted February 26, 2014 Groundhog Day. Now that is one dam movie I never like. Excellent work your doing Rusty. So you have to do something over, it's not like it will be the first time, and now your learning more how to turn with the lathe. This is suppose to be fun, enjoy it. Keep the pictures coming.

Rustyj Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share #374 Posted February 27, 2014 Thanks Mark, Grant and Joe. It would be my luck to get stuck in a groundhogs day that was really horrid and have to live it over and over and over again! Now I have to get that accountant to figure out how to get all the cool accessories like a duplicator! No new news from the shop. I have to still mount the barrels and rig them and make the base. That and a good cleaning should just about finish her up. I also had started doing the base work on what was going to be my next build. I was going back to the light for a bit and build the FLY for my grandson. He saw it on the shelf and really liked it. So I have been doing a bit of work on that for him when I was presented with a Dark Side opportunity I just couldn't pass up. So now that I have been cruel and thrown out that teaser I am preparing to post the new build log here in the scratch build section by this weekend. Sorry gotta head of to work now. 42rocker, WackoWolf, augie and 3 others 6 Quote Rusty "So Long For Now" Current Builds: Speedwell Completed Build Logs: HMS Winchelsea 1/48 Duchess of Kingston USF Confederacy , US Brig Syren , Triton Cross Section , Bomb Vessel Cross Section, Cutter Cheerful, Queen Anne Barge, Medway Longboat Completed Build Gallery: Brig Syren , 1870 Mississippi Riverboat , 1949 Chris-Craft 19' Runabout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustyj Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share #377 Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) Thank you E&T. Ok Ben.... you should have excused yourself. You had insider information! Yes Chuck has graciously allowed me access to the Winnie and I will be starting her shortly. As this will be a long slow build while he continues to design her I will try to complete the Fly at the same time. Gotta keep the Grand kids happy you know! I have completed the stand. I made it out of some Maple I had available. I kept the dowels low on the stand so they wouldn't cover the frame work. Now I just have to put on a couple of coats of sealer and I can set the cross section in it.

Well the infamous "set up" has been completed and I finally got my lazy butt in gear and took some pictures of the finished bomb vessel. It has been a great "little" project that I had a lot of fun with. I hope you enjoyed it too. Thank you for all your comments and likes.
