Pandora by marsalv - FINISHED - 1:52


Recommended Posts

Thanks guys :D .

Last part of galion is done - cathead supporter + eking rail.For this piece, I had the greatest fear because it is curved in all three planes. In the end it was not quite that bad (the previous head timbers gave me a hard time considerably more). I am glad I have this complicated part behind me.

Sweet work, Marsalv. I assume you added the molded edge detail with a scraper but I wonder how you got the corners and recesses so precise!

Just finished going through the entire build Marsalv. Amazing detail and your sequencing of the construction of many of the elements make a great deal of sense. I particularly liked the way you fabricated the knees. beautiful workmanship on the stern details, very nice work on the lettering.

Thanks for the explanation Marsalv. I assume you are using CNC to do this. I would think it would be quite difficult to freehand this.

Michael, thank you for nice comments.

Greg, it is not made with CNC machine, only freehand. It is very difficult to explain it with my bad english. You can see the small pin on the first picture which serves as stop. I only move with wooden part from one side to the other, pin follows the shape of the wood. You have to go with wood part against pin twice - milling bitt is either in position 1 or in position 2.

Love the technique Marsalv. I believe you're correct, Gary. He is freehand feeding the piece against the pin. The setup is like a router except upside down.

Sheer genius on the pin and the mill.  This is going into my bag of tricks.

Mars,

 

I like your use of jigs, it assures consistency in sizing on the rings.  And the adjustable jig for the chains allows one to make the various lengths that are needed as they do need to be longer as they go forward to aft with the angle change.

 

What I cannot figure out is when you install the chains, they are not silver soldered.  Do you install, fit them to length and then take them off, silver solder and reinstall?

 

Thanks

 

Allan
