marsalv Posted July 3, 2022 Author Share #422 Posted July 3, 2022 Deadeyes. Most modelers make deadeyes using a lathe. I tried a new method (at least for me) of production using a CNC milling machine. CiscoH, scrubbyj427, botra288 and 25 others 21 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Idea Posted July 3, 2022 Share #423 Posted July 3, 2022 Hi marsalv - so not only did you work out the difficult programming for milling dead eye's; you then made a drive system to put them on the lathe. This my friend is genius level machining and so great to see 😀 bruce d, KentM, CiscoH and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvm27 Posted July 4, 2022 Share #424 Posted July 4, 2022 Very clever Marsalv. I like the short dowel you've placed in the tailstock to keep them from flying off. There's no short cut for hollowing out the deadeye holes though!

robert952 Posted November 8, 2022 Share #436 Posted November 8, 2022 Question about post #422: The container looks smaller than a standard 'pill sorter.' Are looks deceiving?

I see these a lot as I am working at an airport. You have a canister for each day of the week and put the appropriate pills into each day. You can find these easily at most drug stores.

marsalv Posted November 10, 2022 Author Share #438 Posted November 10, 2022 To robert952: This is not a pill container. These are plastic cups intended for paints, which can be advantageously used for storing small things - see link: https://www.sevt.cz/produkt/kelimek-plastovy-primo-7-6-ml-25040400820/ https://www.sevt.cz/produkt/kelimek-plastovy-primo-3-75-ml-25041501850/ KentM, mtaylor, JpR62 and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubac's Historian Posted November 10, 2022 Share #439 Posted November 10, 2022 Marsalv, did you solder your chain segments? If so, how do you manage to keep the soldered connection so minimal and low-profile? robert952 and mtaylor 2 Quote We are all works in progress, all of the time.

Richard Dunn Posted November 11, 2022 Share #440 Posted November 11, 2022 (edited) I have been following this build for some time in preparation for my own 1/36 build. I also plan to use a CNC, a Stepcraft 800 for some of mine. Are you going to rig yours?

daniel.b Posted November 14, 2022 Share #441 Posted November 14, 2022 (edited) Hello Marshall, I watch and appreciate your work. For your MF70 CNC, which files do you use from your CAD. and is the CNC directly controlled via a PC port. Thanks..

marsalv Posted November 19, 2022 Author Share #442 Posted November 19, 2022 To Hubac´s Historian: Chain segments are soldered with silver solder paste. Using solder paste instead of solid solder has the advantage that it is possible to dispense a really minimal amount of solder onto the soldered joint. In places where a really minimal amount is needed, it helps to first heat the soldering parts with a flame and only then dose the solder paste. The solder spreads when it touches a heated area, which makes dosing easier. To Richard Dunn: I am going to rig my model, but only rigging without sails. To Daniel.b: I only have one stepper motor (x-axis) attached to the MF70, so it doesn't work like a real CNC machine. I only use it for x-axis scrolling (on/off switch). For these purposes, I have made a simple driver to control the stepper motor (i.e. without connecting to a PC). Topmast deadeyes and futtock-plates. Tops are completed.

They must have taken ages to align like that. Hi No Idea. I believe that the small blocks are to help keep the gammoning cable from sliding down on the bowsprit. Believe that the small blocks are called the gammoning cleat's.
