Happy Birthday, Ondras! Have the happiest day, and more years to come

Thank you Jimsky!!

I continue on the waterway, I changed the width of 5 mm to 4 mm in the width of the deck boards..





Waterway with pins and glued .. and cleaned drain holes ..









Production of hinges for doors and gun gates ..





New toy to study ..Fire

 

[Jimsky]

Nice toys!!! Great addition to modelers tools chest!

 

[Heinrich]

Ondras, the waterway looks so clean and neat - just like your entire build. Watching your build log closely, there are so many things one can learn. It is absolutely great to see that you are also interested in the Dutch ships. To me Witte de Witt's Brederode has always held a special fascination - I can only imagine what you would be able to do creating that!

very nice well done

 

[Ondras71]

Thank you very much for encouraging words !! FireOndras.

The foundation of all hinges ..




Halyard knighthead..

 

[Heinrich]

Hi Ondras. Those halyards look magnificent. Do you "fold" the hinges around the edges of the doors?

Hello Heinrich. Something from the production of doors, composed of planks, frame bent, hinges soldered from sheet and tube..










nails 0,4 mm

 

[Heinrich]

Wow, Ondras! Thank you so much for the step-by-step pictures of how you assemble doors and hinges. The hinges are still waiting for me.

 

[Brewbrarian]

Love this method! Are you painting them black or using brass black?
As I looked these over, I was thinking just a light stamping on the backside of the hinge with a pointed object could lift up some "nail heads" for even more detail. I'll be revisiting this log for my next build for sure.
Just beautiful Ondras!

 

[Ondras71]

Thank you very much brewbrarian and Heinrich, thanks everyone for like..

For brewbrarian - All metal parts are chemically blackened.
Continuation of work on gretings with 1 mm thick saw blade .. Fire

 

[Heinrich]

WOW! That redefines "painstakingly neat and calculated work"! Magnificent!

 

[NMBROOK]

Superb work Ondras
If I may ask,where did you get the saw blade for the FET from?Proxxon's offerings are rather limited.

Kind Regards

Nigel

 

[Norway]

Ondras , I agree with Nigel, nice work,
I also have Proxxon FET, saw, where can we buy this type of saw blade that fits this saw, 1 mm thickness.
I wish I could make grating, like you do, you make it look very simple, which it probably isn't.
Impressive, greeting Knut-

.

 

[Ondras71]

Thank you all.
I did not find a 1 mm saw blade at Proxxon. I got a saw blade from a friend, probably in the former DDR .. Its center is 16 mm, filled with ring 10/16. I was also afraid of this work, but everything can be learned. It is important to keep the saying, measure three times, cut once..

 

[NMBROOK]

Thanks Ondras you have given me an idea.Now I have a metal lathe I can machine an adapter to suit a blade with a different bore

Kind Regards

Nigel

Such adapter is often necessary - a lot of modeler would need such small add-on tool - maybe an idea for a small production series for interested modeler?

 

[Norway]

Nigel, I am interested in buying such an adapter from you, if you take some time to make a pair for me ..
I have Proxxon FET saw, that's what you also have?, well, I wait and see what you do.
As you say there is not a very large selection of saw blades in the proxxon directory.
Wish I had a couple of saw blades of 1 or 2mm thickness with the right adapter.
Knut.

Caution during production. The pressure ring of the FET also has a diameter of 16 mm. This has to be taken into account ..

 

[NMBROOK]

Thanks Ondras,ideally I may have to make a two piece unit that sandwiches the blade and use a longer screw.It will move the blade slightly but I can make a new insert for the table

Kind Regards

Nigel
