The reason i get so many nice tools from new york is that one of my daughter lives there and i send all my on line purchase tools to her apartment. Tools for woodworking. I’ve actually only found two great physical stores to visit. The first is “tools for woodworking “ . Its located in a bit of a grubby area so don't take your wife as i did. 112 26th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232. They also have a web site toolsforwoodworking.com so you can see what they have. The other is. jak Jewelry tools 37 west 46th street in Manhattan. You have to walk up a number of stairs and there is lots of security all around the place . I guess they must make jewelry around the area. Again they have a web site jakjewelrytools.com. My usual on line store is Lee Valley which has some wonderful miniature tools that i have shipped to her home.

The Foredom is a totally different tool. It runs at around 20,000 rpm and is full of power. The Turbo carves runs at 400,000 rpm and has no power what so ever. You paint with the turbo while you cut with the Foredom. You will have to use one to understand what i mean. I have long had a compressor so that cost is not of concern for me. The hand piece is around $200.

Thank you Alan. Ill have to read it about 5 times to understand in layman's terms. What was interesting in the videos on YouTube is that the test to achieve the correct heat was arrived at by testing the magnetic properties of the red hot steel. They claim its only when the steel has lost its magnetic properties that it has achieved the correct temperature to be made soft, and they just let the piece cool at normal room temperature on the work table. Going back to my colour chart above thats between 1300-1400 degrees F.

Just looked TTT up and this is getting far to technical for a simple mind like mine. Having read it i have no way of knowing what type of steel the hacksaw blade is made up of so no way of knowing how long it should be heated to and the exact temperature. But i am always will to learn. Thats the purpose of my videos.

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.
