KORTES Posted March 24, 2019 Author #335 Posted March 24, 2019 (edited) Greetings my dear colleagues, Let me please present some of the results of my experiments on making the sails. I have tried two technologies, one by Shevelev, which I already used while working on the "La Jacinthe", and the other one by Bikov. After the studying the results, I opted for using the last one. I have been practicing on making the mainsail. Edited March 24, 2019 by KORTES mtaylor and Keith Black 2 Quote

KORTES Posted March 24, 2019 Author #337 Posted March 24, 2019 The second version. I had to redo it several times. The first time the material wasnt right - when I madeeverything and dyed it, the batiste turned out to be too transparent. I had to redo using a more dense one.

KORTES Posted March 25, 2019 Author #342 Posted March 25, 2019 Greetings Keith. Taking into the consideration the gained experience, the technology is the following. Mark the width of the cloth. And draw out several threads. In my case I had to pull out five threads. It depends on the width of the tread you want to put in in place of the taken out ones, and , of course of the size of the sail. We need to pull 5 threads out, leave in place 2, one of them will be used to put in place the "chief" thread, and the second will be left as a backup - in case the first one will break. If you manage to pull the thread in without tearing it, this second one will have to be pullled out. paulsutcliffe, KeithAug, GrandpaPhil and 4 others 6 1 Quote
KORTES Posted March 25, 2019 Author #343 Posted March 25, 2019 The next step. Since the threads in batiste are packless and not strong I couldn't manage to put in the threads with their help all at once. So I had to make a transit step - put in the "chief" thread, with the help of which i pulled in the pulled-in threads. GrandpaPhil, Valeriy V, KeithAug and 2 others 4 1 Quote
KORTES Posted March 25, 2019 Author #344 Posted March 25, 2019 And the last step. We fix the thick thread to our "chief" thread and pull it in in place of the pulled out threads. I had to skein the pulled-in thread, because I couldnt fing the thread of the required diameter. That's how I did it. mtaylor, dvm27, Doreltomin and 16 others 17 1 1 Quote

KORTES Posted March 31, 2019 Author #355 Posted March 31, 2019 Greetings dear Michael. Concerning the making of the thimbles. The method is not much technological, it requires a certain skill. Firstly I made rings from the wire of the required diameter. After that, i put a ring on the toothpick and using the PROXXON, with this cap, I took away the excess. All the manipulation were made using a toothpick and a ring. Keith Black, BETAQDAVE, Valeriy V and 2 others 5 Quote
KORTES Posted March 31, 2019 Author #356 Posted March 31, 2019 The ring has to be set tight on the toothpick, so it wouldnt turn around. In this case the tootpick plays a role of a "holder". In the end the thimble may be refined with a help of broaching file. The smallest elements were made out of a wire with the 0.7 diameter. JpR62, Griphos, Keith Black and 13 others 16 Quote
KeithAug Posted March 31, 2019 #357 Posted March 31, 2019 Kortes Impressive but I don't think my eyes are up to it. With a little modification I might be able to make it work on the lathe.

wefalck Posted March 31, 2019 #358 Posted March 31, 2019 That is some artisanal talent 👍 I also would have thought of how to do this on the lathe. BTW, I had seen the 'pulling threads' somewhere before and think it gives better results than sewing on the sails. I was wondering, whether one couldn't splice the thick thread to the end of one to be pulled or to twist them together with some CA glue to make them easier to pull through, than the double thickness of the thicker thread KeithAug, mtaylor, bruce d and 1 other 4 Quote wefalck panta rhei - Everything is in flux

cog Posted April 1, 2019 #360 Posted April 1, 2019 Wefalk You might, but the CA will most probably create sharp edges or protrusions Keith Black and paulsutcliffe 2 Quote Carl "Desperate affairs require desperate measures." Lord Nelson Search and you might find a log ...
