hi friend's
Today I had some time to work on the keelson.The keelson consists of 3 large timber pieces joined together with scarphs and an additional knee at the stern. I decided to glue these together outside the ship as I use black pva for these joints.
Next I pre-drilled the holes for the nails that would connect the killson to the keel. The nails (0.8 millimeters in diameter) were blackened and cut to the required length.
Then I used the jewelers cup burr I transformed the wire into a countersunk round bolthead. I learned the method from our friend Maarten, I waited about two weeks for the delivery of jewelers cup burr to arrive.
The work is in progress and is being
carried out off the ship. First I made the hole for the nail and then the socket of the cup. In the experiment I did it came out pretty good. I will let you be impressed.
Wishing us all a pleasant and enjoyable weekend

Dear Heinrich
As you and dear friends from the fields know the feeling that drives us in this special hobby, the passion and the feeling that it is the right thing for us. This feeling was formed in me towards the HMS Blandford 1720 - 20 Gun 6th rate Frigate Modelship Dockyard Kit. I have learned in life that I have nothing to lose and I must try and make efforts to send and fulfill dreams and that only he who dares wins. I'm an optimistic guy by nature

Very good work, Shota! The next time you will order the cup burrs look for a 'Twin cut'. The one you bought is more to finish the shape. Twin cut bur will actually shape the part.
Hi Shota,
I am impressed with the results you have achieved with the cup burr and nails. May I ask you what the dimension(s) of the cup burr should be and in your experience what is the longivity of each cutter, i.e. how many nails can one cut with each tool?
Many thanks,
Trevor.

Dear Trevor
The thickness of the brass wire was 0.7 millimeters and the cup was 0.9 millimeters.
I have used one drill / cutter for 80 nails so far and everything worked well and I did not recognize any signs of abrasion and it seems to me that it will work for a while longer.
Recommend to note that no load was created by pressing, I worked with the ה mf70 של proxxon.
good luck, Shota
Dear Shota,
Thank you for your informative response. I will use a fixed table drill when I come to burring them.
Did you use the twin cut variant cup burr or the "normal" version?
Kind regards,
Trevor
