KORTES Posted March 3, 2019 Author Share #31 Posted March 3, 2019 Treenails of the deck. Unfortunately, I didn’t master the make using the syringe needle, after a few failed tries I gave it up… I haven’t had enough patience. I decided to sharpen on the grinder. After some try-outs I opted for the pear tree instead of the toothpicks. D=0,6 mm. GrandpaPhil, JOUFF, mtaylor and 17 others 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

druxey Posted March 3, 2019 Share #33 Posted March 3, 2019 Looks good. Will you put a long handle on the mini-drill? My first 'serious' model was a 64 gun ship, fully planked at 1:48 scale. All the treenail holes were drilled by hand using a pin vise. I'd never do that again!

KORTES Posted March 3, 2019 Author Share #34 Posted March 3, 2019 My greetings, dear Dave. Before the beginning of the building I realised the necessity of such instrument.Unfortunately, to my point of view, the PROXXON instruments are unreasonably expensive . That is why I have found in the internet photo of such instrument and asked my brother, who works with metal, to make me one. As a result I have two machines in one and it was a lot cheaper.

KORTES Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share #56 Posted March 12, 2019 I would like to present my attempts in making cap rail taffrail. I waited a long time to approach it, finding the right technology, finally setting for the plank bending with further refining. To start, I had to prepare a pattern, and as I had to bend the lath with a big margin(the original size 1,5:22 mm), I had to make reinforced fixators. I have made two samples, refining them while adjusting them in place. Keith Black, BETAQDAVE, muratx and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KORTES Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share #58 Posted March 12, 2019 I had to take my time, the profile is rather difficult to make.
