I am currently working with carronade machines. I will tell you more about it here.
The roller itself is 2 brass tubes. One is 1.5 mm, the inside is 1 mm in diameter. We insert one into the other, solder and grind to size (in this case the width is 2.4 mm) as a result we get a diameter of 0.5 mm for the axis.
The parts in the photo below for the roller frame were cut out for me on a laser machine. Length 5 mm, width 1.0 mm, thickness 0.2 mm. I drilled 0.4 mm holes, although initially 0.5 mm was supposed. But very little is left on the edges of it, and I made the axle thinner
As a result, we get such a product. Please note that this is still a macro shot
The set offers this version of wheels for a carronade machine. Something glued together from three parts. I think the difference is obvious
The most interesting part came next. What to make the slabs for the gun from. In the original, they were cast from cast iron. At first, there was an idea to make them from black hornbeam
It should look like this. The manufacturing process is in the photo.

This is a photo for the post above. I made a scraper, made a profile from hornbeam, then cut and drilled
The idea was rejected
While I was thinking about a new idea, I started making parts for the machine. Side eyes, the trousers go through them.
Ultimately, this resulted in a new idea and here is its implementation.

Hello everyone. The work with carronade machines can be said to be completed. It took me 20 days with daily work of 2-3 hours in the evenings and a little more on weekends.
Here you can see the difference between a dry and oiled machine.

Greetings, Sanya. The last of your images is sort of blurry, and it becomes a tendency. Do you need a new camera?
Hi Dima. Did you notice it too? My colleagues have already told me about it. I can send you the card number.
I am afraid that the card number will not help much...our stores will not take rubles as the currency...Hi Dima. Did you notice it too? My colleagues have already told me about it. I can send you the card number.
Maybe it would be enough to clean the lens 
Good morning Sasha. Your “blurry”carronades look fabulous. Cheers Grant
I'll try. The lens on the camera was really dirty, but I didn't pay attention to it.Maybe it would be enough to clean the lens
Hello friends. Continuation of work on the brig construction. Finished with the decor on the stern, made hawses for anchor ropes and pulley-gatas for tacks and sheets.
I have moved on to work on the arrangement of the latrine and all elements in the bow. The work is moving forward little by little.
I think I wiped the lens on my phone

She is looking mighty fine (now that you cleaned off your lens) !!!I have moved on to work on the arrangement of the latrine and all elements in the bow. The work is moving forward little by little.

Hello everyone. Thanks for the comments and just likes. The work continues.
Using a simple device and a circular saw, I made bow bitts with the same angle of inclination of the shafts.

Making the latrine sidewalls. Made from a set of hornbeam measuring 0.6x2 mm. Drawn the contours on a sheet of paper, glued on one side, then on the other with an overlap of half a slat for rigidity. Cut off the excess and grind it down
Bowsprit and figurehead just for fitting

I made cat-beams, cut pulleys into them, and a pulley for the pertulin on the side.
Finished with the decorative latrine rails
