Kevin Posted January 16, 2014 Share #661 Posted January 16, 2014 Good morning Grant i have just caught up with your log, i have missed so much, The Bismarck - for me certainly was not a mistake, i lost my direction with the Victory, and rather than get rid of it i decided for a change of direction, With my mojo back, the intentions are to have her back in the workshop around Easter, and push forward with her through the summer months, i dont want - or have the room for two big builds on the go at the same time hope you are well WackoWolf and Sjors 2 Quote Its all part of Kev's journey, bit like going to the dark side, but with the lights on All the best Kevin SAY NO TO PIRACY.

mobbsie Posted January 16, 2014 Share #662 Posted January 16, 2014 Hi Grant, I like what you are doing here mate and your process is well thought out and executed, however I think that the Anvil is a little thick. I feel they could be reduced a little from the underside which would add a little more shape to the horns. It may just be angle of the photos I don't know and the real test will be when you attach them to the ropes. The Caldercraft cleats attach to the ropes over the top of the anvil, will yours attach the same way or do you intend to attach around the base of the cleat. I hope you don't mind me mentioning this mate.

gjdale Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share #663 Posted January 16, 2014 Thanks for the comments and "likes" folks. Bug - assembly line is the only way to go for these parts! Working with a larger piece of stock is also much easier than trying to shape these little critters individually. Kevin - welcome back. I've been keeping an eye on your Bismarck, but I'll be looking forward to seeing more progress on your Victory. Mobbsie - you just knew I wasn't quite satisfied with them didn't you? I agree, the anvil is still a little heavy. I've got an idea half formed that I might try tomorrow - now that I've got the basic shape and method worked out, it shouldn't take too long. My biggest concern though is making the horns too fragile. To answer your other question, fixing to the shrouds will be via lashings around the "legs" and also around the centre portion - as per the actual ship fit. That's the intention, anyway. mtaylor 1 Quote Grant ____________________________________________________ Current builds: African Queen - Radio Control / Live Steam Previous builds: The Shipyard at Foss' Landing (Diorama), Hannah - Ship in a Bottle, NRG Capstan Project, 1869 Allerton Steam Pumper, Medway Longboat , Alfa Romeo Spider Gran Touring (Pocher) , Da Vinci Flying Machine, 1949 Chris Craft 19' Racing Runabout - Dumas - Radio, Bomb Vessel Granado, 1742 - Cross Section - Scratchbuild, HMS Victory (Mamoli 1:90), Cutty Sark, Armed Pinnace, Bounty, Santa Maria At another place: Stephenson's Rocket (OcCre 1:24) (click the title to follow the link) In the Gallery: Lancia Armata 1803, Bomb Vessel Granada, 1742 Cross Section, 1949 Chris Craft 19' Racing Runabout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobbsie Posted January 16, 2014 Share #664 Posted January 16, 2014 Hi Mate, Thanks for that, hope I haven't caused you too much aggro. :( Good luck when you attach them to the shrouds, that's going to be some fiddly work, I still have that pleasure to come. I'm having to redo the deadeyes on the main shrouds, didn't take into account the rope stretch, that's a real pain in the **** I can tell you. :( That should make you feel a bit better. :) Be Good and Stay Cool mobbsie gjdale 1 Quote mobbsie All mistakes are deliberate ( me ) Current Build:- HMS Schooner Pickle Completed Builds :- Panart 1/16 Armed Launch / Pinnace ( Completed ), Granado Cross Section 1/48 Harwich Bawley, Restoration, Thames Barge Edme, Repair / Restoration, Will Everard 1/67 Billings HMS Agamemnon 1781 - 1/64 Caldercraft Kit, HM Brig Badger, HM Bomb Vessel Granado, Thames Steam Launch Louise, Thames Barge Edme, Viking Dragon Boat Next Build :- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j21896 Posted January 16, 2014 Share #665 Posted January 16, 2014 Hi Grant, Would it help to sand a bit of a concave shallow in the top surface of the strip before making the other cuts? I'm glad you mention that the grain direction issue messed with your head a bit. In looking ahead a little, contemplating how I am going to make the cleats for my bulwarks, that was a puzzler for me.

gjdale Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share #666 Posted January 16, 2014 Thanks Robert, I think the top surface is okay in terms of when to do it. I'm thinking about being a little more aggressive on the side cuts though. I'll do a test today and let you know how it goes. Glad to hear that I'm not the only one whose head gets messed with thinking about grain direction augie and mtaylor 2 Quote Grant ____________________________________________________ Current builds: African Queen - Radio Control / Live Steam Previous builds: The Shipyard at Foss' Landing (Diorama), Hannah - Ship in a Bottle, NRG Capstan Project, 1869 Allerton Steam Pumper, Medway Longboat , Alfa Romeo Spider Gran Touring (Pocher) , Da Vinci Flying Machine, 1949 Chris Craft 19' Racing Runabout - Dumas - Radio, Bomb Vessel Granado, 1742 - Cross Section - Scratchbuild, HMS Victory (Mamoli 1:90), Cutty Sark, Armed Pinnace, Bounty, Santa Maria At another place: Stephenson's Rocket (OcCre 1:24) (click the title to follow the link) In the Gallery: Lancia Armata 1803, Bomb Vessel Granada, 1742 Cross Section, 1949 Chris Craft 19' Racing Runabout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjdale Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share #667 Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) Okay, so I wasn't really happy with the last version of the shroud cleats. I was being lazy and thankfully Mobbsie called me on it - thanks mate! So this morning I had another crack. As I'd already prepared another piece of stock with the basic saw cuts, it didn't take much additional work. I widened the dados in the side, and filed the curves in again. Here's the results of the latest effort (not yet stained black): And here's a comparison of the new (on the left) with the previous version (on the right). I've included a metric ruler as a reminder of just how small these things really are. I think these are much better, but I'd value any and all opinions. Do I go with these, or is it back to the drawing board? I would be reluctant to try and make any parts thinner as I'm already down to 1mm square on the "feet' that will attach to the shrouds.

gjdale Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share #672 Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) Thanks Lawrence and Augie, and the "likes". I think even Mobbsie will be satisfied with this version! I've been pondering the Mast Cleats as well over the last few days and came to the conclusion that making wooden ones just wasn't going to do it - they would either be too large/chunky or too fragile. So I got an idea from B.E.'s Pegasus log, where he had made some brass cleats from eyebolts. That got me to thinking in terms of brass, and eventually I hit on the idea of making them in two parts (one for the "stem" to mount into the mast, and one for the "horns") and silver soldering them together. So that's what I did...... Starting with some 1mm diameter brass wire, and cutting two pieces, with one bent at a right angle. I deliberately made each part extra long to make it easier to handle. Then a quick visit to the garage and a few minutes with the silver solder paste and mini torch: Then cleaned them up with a file and cut each leg of the "Y" to size: And finally, chemically blackened using Casey Birchwood Brass Black (thanks Danny for putting me on to that stuff! ): Now, unless Mobbsie sends me around the buoy on this one, I think these are ready for installation.

mobbsie Posted January 17, 2014 Share #675 Posted January 17, 2014 G'day Mate, Where do I start, firstly let me congratulate you on your new shroud cleats, they are so much better than the old ones, well done mate. Now, you only have a short trip around the buoys and you can do that in a row boat, is it possible to just turn the horns on the mast cleats down a little, I know they are tiny and they are good but I think you can improve them, by turning the ends down you will give them a better shape and the rope will not slip off. :mellow: This is just my humble opinion mate, you are onto a winner whichever you choose.

clloyd Posted January 17, 2014 Share #676 Posted January 17, 2014 I'm with mobbsie - just a quick tweak with the pliers on the ends should do the trick. The choice of metal was a good one too - just looking at the wood cleats I agree that they would be far to delicate, and would result in breaking and much cursing during the rigging process.

I'm still quite a novice, but seem able to get by to meet my needs. There is a good tutorial in the downloads section of the site.

Dan Vadas Posted January 17, 2014 Share #679 Posted January 17, 2014 Nice work on both types of cleat Grant . Your method of making the brass ones looks a bit easier than the one I used on my Norfolk Sloop - I cut and filed them from 1mm thick brass strip : BTW - did you use English Box for the wooden cleats or Castello? The English is probably twice as close-grained and can be cut and shaped to TINY sizes without falling apart .
