Amalio, how on earth do you do that type of lathing?

First picture of yours it's hard to determine the size of object.

Then suddenly finger is holding it, and I know directly how small and delicate the part is.

Your skills amazes me .......

What brand of lathe are you using?

 

[Amalio]

The lathe has nothing special, it is of Chinese origin and has a distance between points of approximately 40 cm. Not bad, but there are much better ones. Any machine does nothing by itself. It all starts with a mental process depending on the means you have. First you do it inside your head and then it's easy.

The tool is as good as it's wielder ... lovely work Amalio

Good morning.

Hi Amalio,

 

Could you tell us:  the kind of wood

                               and the finishing product you apply on the wood?

[Amalio]

Hi Gaetan.
The lighter wood that appears in this model is boxwood, which in Spain is known as Amarican boxwood. The darkest wood is cherry.
As for the finish, the only thing I give it is what is known here as filler. It is a nitrocellulosic primer that is given to wood before varnishing it. It dries very quickly and sands very well and is colorless.

That sounds like what we call 'sanding sealer', Amalio. Beautifully marked out mast wedges and and so accurately cut by hand!

Amalio,

Thanks for sharing the details.  Another great lesson in my ever growing book of how to do something.

This is an interesting presentation of sistered pairs of spindles.  I really like the uniqueness of the design, and I may find a way to incorporate this into my ship’s quarter deck companionway.

[Amalio]

Good morning.

[druxey]

Nice solution to turning repeated shapes!

[Mark P]

Good Evening Amalio;

 

I agree with Druxey; that is a very clever way of making the same shape of baluster. Thanks for sharing it with us. A beautifully constructed model.

 

All the best,

 

Mark P

Good morning.

Sweet! Too bad part of the railing is hidden below deck.

[BANYAN]

Very nice work; as Druxey says, a pity some of this lovely detail will be obscured.

 

cheers

Amazing build Amalio.

Thanks for sharing all the details that now lie hidden from view, never to be seen again.

Your craftsmanship is so inspiring of what can be achieved.

A veritable Plus Ultra build.
