I couldn't resist trying them out and made some tests. Here is the result.

I guess we are some of the many happy guys owning this great toolset. Those miniatures chisels are very good quality. As for the sharpening\honning Mihail provided a manual. Do you need one, I can give it to you? I suspect, the chisels will require honing most of the time, unless the chisel broke, then you will need sharpening.I am very happy for you that you received now also a set from Mihail...... they are great.
I am very happy with my set since some years....... the only problem is to keep them also in future sharp like hell (like they are now)
BTW- this is my set
This would be great, if you can send this manual to me. At the time I bought, it was not included.......I guess we are some of the many happy guys owning this great toolset.

Here you go Uwe and anyone needs it. Let me know if the process understandable enough. I think Mihail uses some cert of available online translators.This would be great, if you can send this manual to me. At the time I bought, it was not included.......
Very nice machining method. I have found that "dowels" are just that and typically not round but irregular. On my own cannons I took some copper pipe cut sections and drove them over the dowel, cut them to desired width, and used livers of Sulphur to blacken the outer copper rims. It produced a truck that I was satisfied with as not trying to be historically precise as they were not intended for a model. The cutting and drilling jigs and drill press make a very nice truck.. Well done' Richcontinue from the previous post...
Then, I flatten by sanding the tops and rounded using the rotary tool. Here, on the right, you can see I use a copper wire.

I made a small video to depict the rounding process and hope you will have an idea.
...and the final product, the trucks I will use for my Alert build.
The Naval Cutter ALERT- 1777, POF by Jimsky
Great news, folks!! Today July 27th, 2020, I have purchased the Trident Model Alert kit! The purchase experience was pleasant, straight forward, without hiccups, and took about 3~5 minutes. With this great news, I am officially joining the Alert group build and starting my own build log. When...shipsofscale.com

Here are the front trucks. Some of them are darker colors, I experimented with oil. Of cause, I use Linseed oil, you guessed it right!

Just to have an idea of what you can do with your trucks, should you choose to accept it... on the bellow image, top left is @ Maarten style, which he uses on his Alert build
Hms Alert by Maarten [COMPLETED BUILD]
Yeah my kit came in after exactly 30 days shipping and customs. I had to pay €46,- for VAT and customs clearing but it is well worth it for a box full of goodies. I will build it next to my RC and already have some ideas of what I will do with it. It won't be a straight out of the box build but...shipsofscale.com

Well...that's it, folks. I hope this was informative and you will find it useful. If you have any questions, please let me know... Thank you!!
Your method, Rich is just as good as others. Frankly, any methods that you incorporate and accept are good. There are many other methods to round the wooden dowels, and they well...will require some machining.Very nice machining method.

Thank you, Dan. I think it is a very good approach\method but it does require a milling machine. Before I have had the milling machine I use the table saw, with the same results, it took a bit more time but the results were the same.Nice!! Looks just so clean!
This is how I made my carriages for my Cruiser Several years ago. But I didn't think of the drilling jig to drill the angled holes so thank You for showing!!
Джим, привет. У меня такой вопрос: я не понял здесь, в этом месте... а вот и собранный патрон с разных ракурсов

Супервайзер поставил ствол, чтобы проверить соосность и подгонку. Думаю, он был доволен текущим статусом, но я определенно доволен!

Ну ... осталось не так уж много. Просверлите отверстие для штифтов и сделайте штифты. Спасибо за проявленный интерес, и, пожалуйста, если вы не уверены в том, что это за процесс, я хотел бы получить ваши вопросы \ комментарии.
Thank you, my friend! The cherry ones, the cherry one is decent quality and make an acceptable quality out of the box. But hey...who said we cannot make our own?Excellent work Jim, knowings the size of these they are as sharp as a razor blade, so much better then the cherry ones.
Приветствую Александр,Когда щеки лафета были изготовлены, их разрезали под углом 90 градусов. А оси колес выставлены под другим углом, потому что щеки слегка повернуты. Сиденья для осей стачивали?
