druxey Posted May 10, 2020 Share #158 Posted May 10, 2020 If you absolutely have to use lead, please seal it with clear finish. With time and air it will deteriorate to white lead salts. That's ugly! If you can substitute non-lead metal such as pewter, so much the better. tlevine, KentM, paulsutcliffe and 6 others 9 Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To No Idea: tilting base is specially designed and "home made" for existing Proxxon vice. To dvm27: I have visited Sherline web - this maschine is fantastic, I´ve never seen anything like it before. After about one week all ropes are finished, cca 190 ropes in 14 thickness. Lenght of one ropes is approximately 180 cm. Amazing work Marsalv! Can I ask you where do you find the thread you are using to make your ropes? You show two different colours and I guess you can find it in different thicknesses to ned up having 14 sizes.

marsalv Posted May 20, 2020 Author Share #160 Posted May 20, 2020 To Druxey - thanks for informations, I discussed this situation with my friend who had the same problem. I cover these lead items with clear varnish and the whole hull is then preserved with the wax. I hope that it will be OK. To Alexandru - I am using the french Sajou thread for the ropes (https://sajou.fr/en/339-fil-au-chinois-gloving-thread-1000m-cones). Unfortunately this thread is only in one thicknesess.

JpR62 Posted May 24, 2020 Share #164 Posted May 24, 2020 Wonderful job ! Having read the log again, I was wondering about the species of wood used for the deck planking: I suppose pear but for the lighter wood ? Mapple ? Are the moldings done manually using the scrapper technique or were they made using the mill ? The model is really beautiful. Thank you for sharing your great work.

michael mott Posted June 16, 2020 Share #167 Posted June 16, 2020 Marsalv, As others have already mentioned your workmanship is superb and of the highest calibre. You mentioned that the moldings were done on the milling machine, Are you using a combination of different shapes on the one molding or are you making the cutters as a single cutter yourself, also what speed are you using to obtain such a fine surface finish.

marsalv Posted July 2, 2020 Author Share #168 Posted July 2, 2020 Hi Michael, moldings are made on CNC milling maschine. I am using VCarve software for this purpose. You have to create only curve (cross section) of molding and maschine does the work itself🙂. You can see in this example that my workmanship is not so superb as you noted🙂.

To say your modeling skill is next level would imply there is another level beyond, there isn’t. Your work is superb. I may have missed it somewhere, how to you get length for your moldings, a special table or home built mod? Mine Mill is limited to 5 inches.

marsalv Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share #172 Posted July 20, 2020 To dowmer - this time I used brass, which is then tinned, and tin foil, which is glued to the deck with double-sided adhesive tape. To glbarlow - the maximum length I can do on a milling maschine is 28 cm, for longer plank I use "special jig" - see picture. I insert the plank into the groove in the jig, perform the milling of the first part, remove the plank and move it forward and continue milling. I continue with breast hook, collar beam and bowsprit partner. FriedClams, JpR62, CaptMorgan and 17 others 19 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsalv Posted August 13, 2020 Author Share #178 Posted August 13, 2020 Thank you guys. Answer to Glenn: The groove is made so that you only have to push the plank into the groove. For sure, however, it is still glued with double-sided tape. I started work on stern - moulding rails.
