Заливать сталь СВИНОЦОМ, а после писать название «реставрация» 🤦‍♂️, да ты "ГЕНИЙ!"

[@AdamAdam97531]

Приветствую ведущего канала . Эта одна из самых неудачных твоих работ по реставрации , ты в начале ролика показываешь недостатки которые необходимо исправить но в деле оставляешь всё как есть не доводя свою реставрацию до совершенства как делал ты это ранее . Тебе за эту работу я ставлю неудовлетворительно .

You have high experience and workmanship, as long as I wish to do the same as you, but I do not have much patience. I hope that you will visit Egypt one day and host you with me.

Las marcas que tiene la base que conservaste también son defectos en el proceso de moldeo en la fundición , al igual que la parte que rellenaste con metal ! Saludos buen trabajo !

[@grandpaweber2097]

This video brought back a lot of memories. I spent 16 years re-enacting the American War of Independence, much of it serving cannons. As I watched the video, all I could think of was the loading and firing sequence. All of the cannons I served were beautiful reproductions, brass and iron. Good video....now go buy a swivel gun!

[@DragnEYE]

Well he used some weird low melting point metal to fill a giant void in, probably aluminum or some copper alloy. Whatever it was, I wouldn't trust my life on it bonding to the cast iron enough to not blow up when pressure build up behind a heavy ball. Paper and some snap rocks and nothing compared to gunpowder.

Why were canons black, anyway?

[@liamthecoolone3196]

Becuse it made it easier to see and load it after shot

[@TAG77]

Because they were blued to keep from rusting. It’s a heating and oil process with the iron that stops rusting that leads to decay when at sea on naval ships or on the battle field with rain.

[@agoogleaccount2861]

They were heated and painted with linseed oil or japanning to prevent corrosion much like the inside of this cannon was destroyed by

@@agoogleaccount2861 jappaning is a different technique with painting. Not oiling. Just an FYI. Hot bluing is what you’re referring to where you use heat and oil. There’s also cold bluing and it’s done with a chemical, not oil.
