Nirvana Posted January 18, 2021 Share #814 Posted January 18, 2021 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 Posted January 18, 2021 Author Share #815 Posted January 18, 2021 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.

Gaetan Bordeleau Posted January 27, 2021 Share #818 Posted January 27, 2021 Hi Amalio, Could you tell us: the kind of wood and the finishing product you apply on the wood? Obormotov and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amalio Posted January 28, 2021 Author Share #819 Posted January 28, 2021 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. mtaylor, Obormotov and dodgeyhack 3 Quote AMALIO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druxey Posted January 28, 2021 Share #820 Posted January 28, 2021 That sounds like what we call 'sanding sealer', Amalio. Beautifully marked out mast wedges and and so accurately cut by hand!

Hubac's Historian Posted February 26, 2021 Share #827 Posted February 26, 2021 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. mtaylor and Obormotov 2 Quote We are all works in progress, all of the time.

Mark P Posted March 5, 2021 Share #830 Posted March 5, 2021 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.

All the best, Mark P mtaylor 1 Quote Previously built models (long ago, aged 18-25ish) POB construction. 32 gun frigate, scratch-built sailing model, Underhill plans. 2 masted topsail schooner, Underhill plans.
