    Michael, The ordeal is behind you; nothing to do but heal! On the scale of things at our age, a minor inconvenience. Be well and enjoy the fall. Wefalck, I hope you accept their invitation to send in a picture of you with the book. Tom

    I've had considerable success with:www.plexiboxes4U.com. You have to build your own base. Tom

    Rod, The curved edge is the margin plank, and the deck planking is nibbed into it. And it's pretty obvious that you know your carpentry. Nice work; very elegant. Can't help you with the primer issue; I just deal in wood and brass. Tom

    Big improvement over the previous schedule. Right hand or left? And do you need some of us to come up there and help you recuperate? And even though you can't push a chisel, you can still chat us up. Tom

    The presentation is up on the site. Fast work, and much appreciated! Tom

    Well, I'm checking out the tip from Johnny (Great Republic) that indicates how you do the marvelous things you do. In the meantime, I'm also intrigued with the two wooden boxes under the red bucket on the shelf. What's in there? Tom

    Kevin, I only wish I had the space for all the wonderful equipment that you have (guys and their tools, oh my!). I use my sherline milling machine for gratings. It's equipped with DRO. Also, while you are careful with the direction of the grain, I turn the end grain vertical which helps eliminate breakage. Tom

    Kevin, Have I seen 3 table saws in your shop? A Preac, a Proxxon, and a Byrnes? Tom

    Hi TBlack, living in Boise, Idaho. Love it here, but wish to live nearer to the coast. Love the maritime scene. Hope you are doing well.

    Hi Nautical, What part of Idaho? Tom

    Steel's Elements of Mastmaking, Sailmaking, and Rigging. You can get a copy for $188.

    Ed, What kind of paint are you using? Tom
  37. TBlack
    Druxey may be correct, but from where I sit it looks like Alan knows what he's doing. I can't imagine how you can see the complicated 3 dimensional figure in a block of wood. Tom

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.
