Tarjack Posted June 18, 2016 Author Share #231 Posted June 18, 2016 Much time has passed, but now i am back Next step was to build the deadeyes and chainplates for the main-platform. For the holes in the deadeyes I need a helpfull tool. The tool it´s made from wood and brass. The deadeyes are made on the lathe After drilling the deadeyes the edges are chamfered upward Now it´s time to made the chainplates. The plates have the dimensions of 1 mm x 0,5 mm x 12mm; above an eye and down a long hole 0.5 mm x 1 mm The plates in position The plates are fixed with glue on the deadeyes ready for stropping The stropp for deadeyes is made with a real splice The rope, made from three strands, will opend and for each strand i use a needle to made the splice. All deadeyes are finish spliced on plates Have fun Mirabell61, Landlubber Mike, mcpwilk and 20 others 23 Quote cheers Robert And when the workaholic grabs me, I sit quietly in a corner and wait until the attack is over Into dockyard: HMY Royal Caroline 1749 made from Bone 74 Gun-ship 1781 (engl.)
