Are you glad that there aren't 74 cannon and carriages to make? 🙂 I started work on the artillery in early December to make 14 complete guns (and I still have to make the hoists for manoeuvres)! I dread to think how long it would have taken me for a 74 guns!!! No Idea, uss frolick, Mic_Nao and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peanut6 Posted February 25, 2023 Share #306 Posted February 25, 2023 I have to ask, how did you make the piece shown in pic 1 and 2 of post 302? I had a very similar part I had to bend for my Jolly Boat and it gave me fits. I finally quit trying and just went the "Guna' have to be good enough, hope this works" approach. mtaylor 1 Quote Take care and be safe. kev Current Build: HMS Bounty's Jolly Boat - Artesania Latina On the shelf: Oseberg #518 - Billing Boats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giampieroricci Posted March 9, 2023 Author Share #308 Posted March 9, 2023 I am starting to prepare the support base for the model. The idea is to make a kind of grating with three columns (probably brass) that will support the model. billocrates, Knocklouder, gjdale and 9 others 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peanut6 Posted March 11, 2023 Share #310 Posted March 11, 2023 The jig you show is nearly identical to how I finally settled on making my piece. In hindsight I just didn't execute as well as I could have. At the time I was very limited in material, the shipyard coffers were bare so I didn't have the luxury of a "do-over", and had to settle on how it came out. The great thing for me is knowing I was thinking down the best path.

matiz Posted March 28, 2023 Share #329 Posted March 28, 2023 The breeches of the guns were often made from old shrouds, therefore, tarred, the guns in the great chamber had untarred breeches, in France, they were also painted with Spanish white rybakov and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaetan Bordeleau Posted March 28, 2023 Share #330 Posted March 28, 2023 Why nobody in the books talk about this subject? I think, we highly underestimate the enemy: the aggressiveness of the salt. Why would a line be tarred and the next one untarred? Inevitably, by cross contamination, both lines would finish tarred. Jean Boudriot wrote a letter about which lines are tarred. One sentence is interesting: The rope for the ship rudder wheel is not expose to the salt, so tarring this line is unjustified. Does that mean that the idea is very simple: If a line is expose to the salt, tar the line. mtaylor, Peanut6, rybakov and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
