Kevin Kenny Posted September 27, 2021 Author Share #422 Posted September 27, 2021 Today was a great day for the model shop. Our kitchen sink faucet fell apart and i was able to rebuild it on the lath. For the first time one of my model making tools provided a solution to our household and Ms Kenny was very happy. Not to often these opportunities come around. Its also the first time the lath took pride of place on the new work bench. It seems very happy there. bruce d, druxey, mtaylor and 5 others 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtaylor Posted September 27, 2021 Share #423 Posted September 27, 2021 That's a triple win, Kevin. Wife is happy, you got to use the lathe, and do it on the new bench. druxey and KentM 2 Quote Mark "The shipwright is slow, but the wood is patient." - me Current Build: Past Builds: La Belle Poule 1765 - French Frigate from ANCRE plans - ON HOLD Triton Cross-Section NRG Hallf Hull Planking Kit HMS Sphinx 1775 - Vanguard Models - 1:64 Non-Ship Model: On hold, maybe forever: CH-53 Sikorsky - 1:48 - Revell - Completed Licorne - 1755 from Hahn Plans (Scratch) Version 2.0 (Abandoned) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dvm27 Posted October 1, 2021 Share #429 Posted October 1, 2021 I knew you could do it Kevin! Few tips regarding your latest video: 1. Deflection is always a problem with small diameter parts. You get much less deflection using wider stock. Just turn the amount you need to the final diameter but leave the tailstock portion wide. 2. Always use a center drill. Sherline makes some very small center drills that are perfect for sheaves (0, 00). 3. While parting small drilled items insert a wire into the end. This way they won't fly off and leave you cursing when you can't find them. 4. There are some very fine Vallrobe Swiss files that taper almost to a point. They are perfect for forming the concave part of the sheave and deadeyes freehand while the lathe is running.

dvm27 Posted October 9, 2021 Share #432 Posted October 9, 2021 Nice job on the waterway Kevin. The purpose of the waterway was to provide a seal between the side and deck planking. Water seepage would lead to beam end and surrounding wood rot. So this timber had to be very robust and secure from moving. Hooked scarph joints are quite strong and would help prevent separation along the waterway. Some authors consider the waterway to be part of the side planking as opposed to deck planking. druxey, KentM and mtaylor 3 Quote GregwebsiteAdmiralty Modelsmoderator Echo Cross-section buildAdmiralty Models Cross-section BuildFinished buildPegasus, 1776, cross-sectionCurrent buildSpeedwell, 1752 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Kenny Posted October 9, 2021 Author Share #433 Posted October 9, 2021 I knew that there had to be a good explanation. Ill have it easy to do the rest of the deck planking and then to start the outside planking. Right now i need some easy stuff. mtaylor and KentM 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuglo Posted October 15, 2021 Share #435 Posted October 15, 2021 Hi. In one of your recent videos , you used a tilting table for the sherline mill. Do you happen to know if this can be adapted for use with the simple X-Y table that is part of my Proxxon M70. (I'd love a shireline but I still love my wife- difficult choice, but the shireline, while versatile, can't cook and kiss me goodnight) mtaylor, KentM, GrandpaPhil and 1 other 4 Quote current build- Swan ,scratch on shelf,Rattlesnake, Alert semi scratch,Le Coureur,, Fubbs scratch completed: nostrum mare,victory(Corel), san felipe, sovereign of the seas, sicilian cargo boat ,royal yacht caroline, armed pinnace, charles morgan whaler, galilee boat, wappen von hamburg, la reale (Dusek), amerigo vespucci, oneida (semi scratch) diane, great harry-elizabethan galleon (semi scratch), agammemnon, hanna (scratch).19th cent. shipyard diorama (Constructo), picket boat, victory bow section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Kenny Posted October 15, 2021 Author Share #436 Posted October 15, 2021 The base is 6” long by 4 1/8” wide, so if it will fit on your xy table it should work . It uses theses bolts to hold onto the table. It can be drilled to position it on the table. KentM, GrandpaPhil and mtaylor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the end I sold my M70 and bought a Sherline. Maybe it’s time to learn to cook 😂 GrandpaPhil, stuglo, KentM and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
