marsalv Posted August 19, 2016 Author #241 Posted August 19, 2016 Thanks guys . 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. toms10, Mahuna, wyz and 17 others 20 Quote

wyz Posted August 24, 2016 #244 Posted August 24, 2016 WOW! That is a super job you did on the boomkin and berthing rail with head netting marsalv. As always, your work is first rate. What kind of line did you use to make the netting? Size? Tom WackoWolf and mtaylor 2 Quote
Bill Morrison Posted August 24, 2016 #245 Posted August 24, 2016 I most emphatically agree that this is turning out to be an outstanding model! The old Constructo version bears little resemblance and requires a lot of modification, so I am following this build closely. Bill mtaylor 1 Quote

dvm27 Posted October 12, 2016 #255 Posted October 12, 2016 Sweet work, Marsalv.

marsalv Posted October 25, 2016 Author #257 Posted October 25, 2016 Thank you guys .

michael mott Posted October 25, 2016 #258 Posted October 25, 2016 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.

dvm27 Posted October 25, 2016 #259 Posted October 25, 2016 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.

marsalv Posted October 25, 2016 Author #260 Posted October 25, 2016 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. dvm27, sparrow, albert and 6 others 9 Quote
Morgan Posted October 25, 2016 #261 Posted October 25, 2016 The pin provides a fixed point from which to off-set the freehand feed if I'm reading this right. I like the idea and will be giving it a go! Thanks for the tip Marsalv. Gary mtaylor, dvm27, tkay11 and 1 other 4 Quote
dvm27 Posted October 25, 2016 #262 Posted October 25, 2016 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.

omarcs Posted October 31, 2016 #265 Posted October 31, 2016 (edited) I really like the jig. Being able to screw items to it while making your ship looks extremely helpful I am looking at page 1 for this comment. Great build Edited October 31, 2016 by Omar CS Quote Omar Cutty Sark Scientific kit 1:140ish
marsalv Posted November 10, 2016 Author #267 Posted November 10, 2016 Omar CS, Albert - thanks . Another part of build - chains for deadeyes. All parts are made from brass with silver soldering. Erebus and Terror, tlevine, Mahuna and 20 others 23 Quote
allanyed Posted November 10, 2016 #268 Posted November 10, 2016 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?
