Post by: MarkEngraver on May 28, 2013, 06:54:12 PM: Ok ! My mind is sufficiently blown !

Question ! In one of the picture/diagrams it says "Cis - Yew - Taxusboom"
This seems to indicate that Yew wood is being used for the stock ! Is this the case ?

Yew is more of a soft wood ..... THE wood for an English Longbow, but for a gun stock ... a bit surprising

And you've barely started on the decoration!

Post by: raszpla on May 31, 2013, 02:59:56 PM: The complexity and the required accuracy of this project is a labor intensive process. Nowadays I understand quit well why these mechanisms where seldom seen compared to the barrels which opened to the side( http://i40.tinypic.com/ilggtd.jpg) . Quote “Rebuilding these kind of systems require an enormous concentration and experience. When the systems opens to the side, as seen in the picture, the block is perpendicular to the gab in the barrel, this makes it easier to get a tight seal than in the system I am building (the block opens with a circular motion and requires a roundish opening in the barrel).” The mechanism in the picture is a lot easier to build. The project I am making together with Marcus (the client) is much more demanding. This project has given me the chance to relive and understand the atmosphere, the reality and the stress of the original builders and their work. Marcus does live far away from my workplace, but I am convinced that his Dutch heart will understand the work that I do.
For those who are not familiar with this work, I will add examples of the 16th century atmosphere to make you understand this project for the full 100%.

Post by: volatpluvia on June 02, 2013, 06:28:20 AM: Since the block is solid, do you put the ball into the barrel at the rear and then pour in the powder? Or will you drill a chamber in the breechblock, then load powder and then ball?

do you use a mill or a lathe at all when your building a wheel lock ? or do you do it with a drill and file the old way.

My fiancee used to dance flamenco... I on the other hand used to play tennerhorn in a German band so that is not a nice comparison... better for drinking beer.

Title: Re: wheellock - barel
Post by: Acer Saccharum on July 08, 2013, 03:23:13 PM: I didn't understand, either. Let me take a guess.

refer to your barrel:

1) Do you twist the barrel to make the spiral pattern?

2) If you do twist the barrel, is a mandrel, or rod, in the bore when you twist it?
Title: Re: wheellock - barel
Post by: Acer Saccharum on July 08, 2013, 03:29:56 PM: Danny, look again at the pictures in the beginning of the thread. I believe these are filed by hand. The spiral does not go all the way around the barrel. When Raz filed the muzzle spiral, the pattern does go all the way around, because it will be exposed beyond the end of the stock.

but the ordinary sculpture work - simple tools 100% (hammer, chisel, file) --- THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT! style of work, cutting lines, climate composition - THIS IS A close link with the working methods .

basic tools = climate of the times of which says "poem - poetry work"

Post by: Kermit on July 10, 2013, 07:55:27 PM: I think many "modern" people look at work like this and believe it to be impossible without CNC machinery, elves, or space aliens. I believe "artistry" is a word too lightly used these days. I'm not a gun builder, but I imagine this puts the hurt of humility on many contemporary "artisans" who start with manufactured barrels, locks, triggers, precarves, and furniture. They might be termed "assemblers." And I'm not trying to take anything away from those who make well constructed arms.

While viewing this thread a comparison came to me. I was thinking about making a fine boxwood baroque recorder with powered lathe and drillpress, as opposed to entirely handmaking a Boehm system flute in gold. It also makes me think I wasted my youth by focusing on security.

I cannot thank you enough for this.
Title: Re: wheellock - barel
Post by: Acer Saccharum on July 10, 2013, 09:55:33 PM: Nothing can replace hand work.

What was once in everyman's hands has been willingly given over to the machinery in the name of efficiency. This means everything is cheap and affordable. A downside is that we have forgotten how to make things. As a society, we have lost our connection with the earth and ground from which everything springs.

Now only the rich can afford handmade.

Thank you Raz, for your excellent photo poetry essay on the wheel.

Title: Re: wheellock - barel
Post by: Acer Saccharum on July 15, 2013, 10:52:21 PM: I am trying to understand the very complicated mechanism.

That spring holds the drive key in the axel. The pyrite hammer can be held against the wheel under pressure, with the key in the shaft.

-or-

the pyrite hammer is dis-engaged from the shaft, with no drive key in the end of the shaft. Hammer can swing out of the way for cleaning, or a new pyrite.

Do I understand?

Raz, this is lovely workmanship. A sonnet in steel.

when the main string is tension - the wheel is automatically locked by the hook wheels - then you need to disengage the clutch hammer. - when he is on the clutch, the hammer is lowered to cover the pan - then the hammer spring maintains the hammer on the cover pan with adequate pressure -- the clutch is disengaged! you can shoot
do you understand?

You need to set up a web-camera in your shop so folks can watch as you work 24 hours a day!

You can get some advertisers to scroll advertisements along the bottom and earn some extra money each time somebody clicks onto your site. ;D

I have been watching your interesting efforts on the wheelock. It is great that you share this with all who are following along. Your drawings and images help greatly in explaining the mechanical aspects of the lock.
You apparently are using a CAD program of some sort to apply drawings to photos. Specifically, what program do you use to do this?
Keep up the good work.

it's good that today there are companies that sell components - because: more people can get to know the taste of this adventure!

I like your thoughts about more people enjoying this adventure. I started my adventure with every component out of the catalog. As I learn and gain experience, I make more of my own. Your work has been very inspiring to me and to so many others. Thank you for your generosity.

I non-stop watching work other people and I'm still learning . I, too, I say, people in America - thank you! :)

Post by: Acer Saccharum on September 03, 2013, 02:21:20 AM: Raz, I just worked the County Fair, and hundreds of people saw me carving my gun. There was a blacksmith, spinner, weaver, basket maker, candlemaker, furniture builder, and even a fly-tyer all under one roof, demonstrating their art. Some people really like this, and others have no idea what is going on. Some people, I hope, will try their hand at some art or craft.

I do believe that some children may not absorb this on a conscious level. But in ten years or twenty, they may have a sudden urge to make something with their hands, besides sliding their fingers over an iPhone.

manual work is an excellent environment for "meditation"
manual work - which man gives himself - then there is a chance to find a priceless peace , in the " silence" - easier to find respect for other people...

Your skill in mixed medium marquetry is impressive! Museum quality even.
