H.M.S. PEGASUS - Swan Class by David Antscherl & Greg Herbert Scale 1:36

[Giampy65]

Very nicely done with a steady hand and very sharp chisel. In the picture after the chisel picture you have nail heads in a perfect pattern. How did you drill them by hand or jigged to a mill/drill press? To my amazement how perfect the pattern.

By hand..... Naturally!

The galley cowl

Nice galley cowl. Studying the pictures is confusing how you were able to have two diameter pipes? The flared top piece how was that done? Such nice work I like to understand your methods for my future use maybe.
Amazing work

Amazing work !

Very nice work on the rudder and gudgeons. You show what I thank are brass bars alongside a disc, are these to be part of the hinge? Is your mill with a digital readout?
The whole ship is amazing in the quality of work you've put in.

COOL - very accurate executed - I love the color difference of the two wooden elements of the rudder (and they fit great together)

What is this photo showing? In moment I can not imagine how these parts fit together and form the hinges .....

Perhaps with these photos it is clearer the method I used for the rudder hinges:





then simply shape the hinge by removing the excess parts!

........ Is your mill with a digital readout?

Absolutely not, it is only manual. Very often, for woodworking, I prefer to use hand tools such as well-sharpened chisels and gouges

 

[Will @ Trilogy]

Thanks for the reply. I just saw the digital readout and was wondering. I too like hand tools.

Thank you for the additional explanation Giampy.
It is growing into a beautiful rudder with exquisite details

I believe the digital read out you see is a digital angle meter. Once you know the angle of the surface from the plans you can us the meter to ensure your angle table is at the correct angle to mill. Just my guess. I do use one, occasionally.

My friend, many thanks for the additional photos - great to see the method for this detail - Bravo

Grazie mille!

Sei un mostro di bravura!

small advances:

 

[Will @ Trilogy]

Beautiful work and results are fantastic. It looks like you are doing silver soldering for these parts. I started using silver solder almost exclusively awhile back while working on my Cheerful.

 

[Tobias]

Hi Ricci fantastic work on the rudder and fittings, I like the two tone rudder.
