Printed a itty bitty tompion for my ‘Hood’ display, I just need to decide on the layout and draw up some LCARS to get printed before giving these a gold flourish and getting them mounted

I believe the design of this ship's tompion (muzzle plug) was quite simple.

Standing next to the Thomas Tompion clock (c. 1690) in the Fitzwilliam Museum. He is known as the 'father of English clockmaking'. It has a complex astrolab and a 24 hour chapter ring. A milestone object in the history of time keeping - simply priceless.

Tompion
That's the first time I've had the chance to use that word.
Also Tampion, a word related to Tampax (sorry).

: a wooden plug or a metal or canvas cover for the muzzle of a gun

Not a regular item, but when you have new gun tubes you don’t want them filling with rainwater. This batch were turned from Hemlock and then painted/varnished (leatherwork by the museum staff). #woodworking #woodturning

1) inlay in “longcase” clock by Thomas Tompion ~1860
2) Irish disk - the design is distinctly feminine fertility in my mind
3) “Large feather leaves bowl” by Hosono Hitomi - 1,000 individual porcelain leaves!🍁

4) articulated iron sculpture of a praying mantis by Myōchin Munemasu

This is a Ships Tompion, a badge that goes on the front of the cover that fits into a Gun Barrel. It is for HMS Victorious, not the Aircraft Carrier, but the Majestic Class Battleship launched in 1895 and scrapped in 1923.

Thomas Tompion, FRS (1639–1713) was an English clockmaker, watchmaker and mechanician who is still regarded to this day as the "Father of English Clockmaking".

Tompion's work includes some of the most historic and important clocks and watches in the world.

Whoa! Brilliant. Then it's your school that pops into my head whenever I hear the name 'Thomas Tompion' - which isn't very often, but has happened

#WIPSnips: tack

Our Story: 1816. Algerine pirates are pursuing the smuggler's vessel Razorfish. The mysterious one-eyed priest, Fr. Burke, offers to "take the helm," which puzzles Conall. Then the guns come out. And Conall soon learns Burke meant KILL.

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingSprints
After midday, the convoy gathered way from Ibiza. Once they cleared Formentera, the wind picked up force, running them true on a southeasterly heading. The Razorfish crew shared a mid-afternoon meal of bread, saucisson sec, and aged white cheese. The Nossa Senhora interrupted the light repast by lowering her colors to half-mast. Davies sent up the alarm, and diminutive Yannick scrambled to the masthead with a telescope. “Corsaires en vue . . . huit corsaires droit sur nous!” he shouted down. Maguire soon saw through another glass: clusters of brown lateen sails hull-up from the south. “Eight in all.” Galloù passed his spyglass around with a jutting jaw. “We are in their sights.” The menacing flotilla was on an intercept. “We will not survive this. Rémy—signal Pereira. We must break off.” The boatswain hoisted flags as Davies brought the Razorfish about to a new heading away from the Portuguese. Maguire kept his glass glued to the two corsairs who’d broken from the others. “With their seventy-two guns,” Galloù said, “the Portuguese will give ces salauds a fight. We would be at their mercy. But keep watch on the two, Monsieur Maguire.” Still a mile ahead of their pursuers, Davies swung the bow to a northeasterly tack as the crew hauled the sheets to a close reach. The Razorfish heeled over, her stern dug in. Maguire clenched his jaw as the two xebecs also altered course, their sails tightening, prows cutting the water with predatory precision. Bearing straight for the bisquine. “Équipage! Galloù summoned the crew in a booming voice. “We will outrun them.” He pivoted to the helm. “Steer to three-three-zero, Jacques—Mallorca.” An hour later, the wind dropped, slowing the Razorfish. Galloù snarled a French oath. “Nom de Dieu” cracked across the deck like a gunshot. “All ’ands—ready weapons.” He tapped the telescope and paused, wistful. “Alors . . . c’est une drôle de danse: We watch them, they watch us. And we wait.” He glanced up at the sails’ fluttering telltales. And slammed his hand against the binnacle. “Merde!” Their plight was clear: the Razorfish couldn’t outrun the xebecs. Maguire tensed. They’d have to fight. Galloù motioned to fishing nets piled at the starboard bulwark. “Aux pièces, Aubrey—vite!” Galloù turned to Burke and Maguire. “I’ll take the helm,” the priest offered. Galloù snapped a nod. “Ya, it will help, mon Père.” Conall puzzled—he’d never seen Burke man the helm. Two crewmen fastened a small fishnet to tackle between the masts, and Conall ran to help hoist the camouflage. Task complete, Galloù beckoned. “Now, load les fusils—and take up a sword—they will board.” “I brang a patty-vash an’ bayonet, and Father has an English rifle.” “Formidable—put them to good use.” Burke brought their guns, powder, and shot from below, handing Conall the dragoon pistol and Charleville. “Greased an’ ready,” he said, pulling out one of the 1800’s paper cartridges. At the bulwark, Aubrey and Rémy hoisted nets off a long brass cannon with a Marseille-blue tompion and carriage to match. Maguire gasped, never expecting the Razorfish to have teeth. Another net went up, revealing a wide-mouthed black iron carronade on red. from Black as the Sea at Night
