[cabrapente]

I put the lathe drill chuck manually, because the drill bit is very small

[cabrapente]

standing rigging, I have checked the ... but I doubt arises:

Flag? Curve is the curve nasturtium? What is he specifically refers when he speaks of the lifeline?

Photo 1 and 3 are the same, but the original (French) and in Spanish.

in picture 4 put several definitions I found, but no clear me.

in picture 2, is the part of the plane, where I locate the damn lifeline.

good thank you in advance for your help.

 

[druxey]

I think this does not translate as 'lifeline' but 'preventer stay'. This is the back-up, should the main stay be shot away.

[guraus]

Carbapente,

 

The French text talks about the two ropes alongside the bowsprit and not the rope you are pointing in picture 2 which is a stay as Druxey said. These ropes are used by the sailors walking on top of the bowsprit as rails to hold onto not to fall into the sea. See the rope pointed by the blue arrows in the attached picture.

 

The description in French gives the dimensions and how those ropes are attached to the bowsprit cap (one on each side) on two iron loops, a dead eye at the other end attached to another dead eye seized to the main mast stay loop. In addition there are several ropes attached to these "rails" and passing under the bowsprit - red arrows.

 

Hope this helps.

cannons start 6 L

[cabrapente]

a little trick.

to catch small parts, I use a small box that attaches with a magnet.

[michael mott]

Very nice work on the blocks.

[cabrapente]

I keep practicing.

the axes of the wheels, do with a tube placed in the lathe.

[cabrapente]

in photo # 1, are all parts that did not go well.

after many attempts, I managed to go all the same carriages.

[cabrapente]

I managed to clean with a degreaser, and I can pavonar brass

[md1400cs]

Cabrapente,

 

Your latest updates are so excellent. Even at extreme camera lens close-ups (something that I fear) your work becomes intoxicatingly even more beautiful. You are a great artist

 

Con gran respeto

The carriages look great.  Seems like scratch building does fill up the scrap box in a hurry, doesn't it?
