Beautiful planking job on your build... It looks like you spiled  your planks... did you cut them from sheet or did you use just use reg plank strips?

Beautiful workmanship. Excellent details as well.

Many people believe that Captain J. Cook discovered Australia in 1770. They tend to forget that Dutch mariner Willem Janszoon landed on Australia’s northern coast in 1606. Cook never even sighted the coast of Western Australia).

Hello :)

I'm still alive... and today I have little update.
I'm working now on gunport lids.

18 lids... not a lot but... bit complicated because of hinges... 1 hinge = 8 pieces.
Hinges are moving parts. I don't now why because anyway there gonna be fixed :) Just some kind of mild modellers perversion :D

Soldering: copper-phosphoric paste

Hinges are not final finished. I'll do final cleaning and polish when I will make all of them... 36

Intriguing method for making the dead eyes Mati.  Something for me to remember and yes, i have made a note of it.

Thanks for showing.

Hello Matt,

 

Wonderful build log and a testament to your scratch building expertise. If you don't mind me asking. .What material would you use for making things like eyebolts and how would go about blackening them. Also, it appears that in post #2 you blackened the nails after they were inserted into the wood?? I have tried to blacken brass using "Blacken-it" with mixed results. Dark annealed steel wire works okay but, the color wears off easily.

 

Thanks,

 

Mike

First... I'd like to "say" thank you all for kind comments.

Mike,
According to your question.
In some places yes, I did brass blackening "on wood".
Mostly I did it for nails. After sanding or file it is already nice clean surface, but I always give final finish with steel wool (number 0000)
For blackening I've used Brass Black (Birchwood Casey) but... you have to clean solution (water and brush) quite fast because of residual which may occure stain on the wood. 
I'm more pleased with result using JAX product for darkening brass. After reaction with brass won't stain the wood. It's much cleaner process. Of course I've still cleaned with water residuals of the solution. 

Another method... is to use copper wire and blacken it with potassium polysulfide (K2S) (liver of sulphur) Very nice and fast blackening solution for copper. But also you have to clean residual with water. Otherwise you will get yellowish stains. 

For eyebolts I think brass will be the best material. And here I can recommend two methods: first you wind 0,5mm wire to create kind of spring on some rod let say 1,5mm diam. and cut out with jewelry saw a single rings, then piece of straight rod solder to those rings (maybe silver solder If you fell that you can challenge that solder) And nice, symmetric eyebolt will be made.
Second method... just to bend and form eyebolt from brass wire. And also solder to close eyebolt. Faster... but I thing less effective method. 
For blackening... brass so you can easily go for your Blacken-It or buy Brass Black from Birchwood (great solution... really!) or JAX products.
But... as I wrote in some post before... to allow create blackening solution layer of our desire color... we have to prepare surface properly. 
So... either classic acetone, citric acid or some cleaning and degreasing solution from mentioned above companies. 
I have no idea how is in US with some chemicals... but you can get also iron chloride (III) FeCl3 or ready 40% solution. Great stuff for cleaning metal... or actually etching the surface. FeCl3 is solution used in etching PCB... so I think it's easy to get on the market.
If you use more classic method like acetone then before blackening dump the element into kitchen vinegar for a while. Vinegar will create microporous surface which help to hold our blackening effect.

By the way... If you want to protect you blackening effect more permanent you can always spray detail after blackening with acrylic matt varnish (e.g. Humbrol)... no way that will go off ;)

If you have any doubts don't hesitate to ask. If I know I'll help with pleasure.

Cheers,
Matt
