You mentioned your old files were clogged. leaving to stand in weak sulphuric acid is one 'old school' way of cleaning them. It can also (by eroding the edges of the teeth) be used to sharpen blunt ones.

Hello Mustafa,

Your capstan looks great and I learned a lot from your construction steps.

I am working on the spar deck capstan. I am using the jig in the photo to make the round pieces. The capstan will be installed in place after painting.

Mustafa, there is something unique about the way you go about model building and that is what gives us such lovely and realistic ships. I greatly admire your work.


All the best JJ..

Great job. Lots of thought went into the process of making the capstan, just like the rest of your Constitution.

Very nice work machining these tiny parts. That Proxxon Mill sure looks like it works for you!
