Laser cannon bracket

I’m pretty happy with this. I can darken with Danish oil or linseed. 
If I can pull lines through them after I chamfer, that will be great.

Nice work, it looks close to the below, a common single block.  How did you round the edges?  A block/rock tumbler is a huge time saver and does a great job if you are doing this by hand.

Thanks for that picture, that’s great. 
I did both parts in cad, then cut them with the laser. Going to draw the doubles next. 
Still have to taper and chamfer by hand, but that’s for tomorrow at 4:30 am while I still have 100% patience.

I much appreciate the info I get here because I am new at this. 
The compliments are especially encouraging. 
I am a retired Porsche factory master engine tech, so when I show these things to my old school mechanic buddies, I get “encouragement” like this…..

Single rolls smoothly. 
But, note to self - sheave pilot holes cannot be .001” off, or line pinch results. 😁

 

Not using that green garbage wire, just testing.

I just scaled up the weight from my video. Its only about 18.9 pounds in scale. 
I’ll put a whole gallon on there tomorrow and try to raise it. That’ll be 10 stone. 
 

😂😁

Lmao

Sorry guys

Cant do this on a keyboard. 
😁😇

Done, except hand sanding. 
.637 to .425

A LOT more demanding than aluminum or nylon or steel on the lathe.

Feet?  Inches?  Meters?

Sorry

Inches.  That’s the taper.

I cheated. 
I couldn’t resist the temptation of turning this in the lathe in a minute and a half. 
Supposed to be assembled from strips, then sanded. 
Shoot me.

Sorry to ask, and I really am not trying to be obtuse, but what is this shaft? Your topic is laser cut cannon brackets so I'm totally confused.😕

Thanks😀

Hi MM

These are nice photos and credit to you for sharing but how is this related to laser cut cannon carriage brackets?  I think more folks will see this and benefit from your nice work if you start another topic on topmast mastheads or include in a build log.
