Excellent tip. I'm new to milling, so this will prove very useful.

I use my milling machine a lot. It would be helpful if you could review my build log thoroughly.

 

[RichardG]

Will do. I can see you maintain a high level of precision. Very nice.

I just took a quick glance through and noticed that you mill the gratings. I was hoping to find out how to do this. many thanks. I also have a Proxxon and will be trying this soon.

I am making the lower crosstrees and trestle trees of the fighting tops.

The trestle trees haven't been glued to the platform yet. Once all remaining details are completed and the top is painted, the gluing will be done directly on the mast. If I had glued the trestle trees earlier, I wouldn't have been able to lower the top into place due to the protrusions of the brass bands on the square section of the mast.
