    Creating lots of grief? That a firm yes. Will report back once I’ve wrapped my head around this a bit more. What I like about the clamps I have is not that I can torque them but that they have relatively large clamping surfaces and I can make fine adjustments to the pressure by way of the knurled knob. My thinking was that the pressure would be more controllable than with spring clamps. Thank for the tips. Coming over from solid hull models has been an interesting experience.

    Thank to all for the suggestions. I am impressed by your but ingenuity unfortunately they are beyond my capabilities. TBlack: I like the ones I have because they do not mar the wood. Having said that I have never tried the alligator clips but see they are commonly used. Do they leave dimples on the planking?

    Hello all, I wonder if anyone can tell me where I might find clamps like that below (throat = 1 1/4”). I have been able to locate them only on Japanese and Finnish sites through an image search (I am new to modeling so it’s likely I’ve missed some specialized sites where these are to be found). The plan is to use them to secure planking during glue ups. Thanks, Chris

    Many thanks. So much to learn.

    Very nice work. Would you mind telling me how you made the jig seen in the first two pictures in the first post? I am especially interested in the the metal pieces and whether/how they are attached on the work board. Thanks. Chris

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
