Well, I've finished and placed the remaining eight 6 pounders on the quarter deck as well as the last eight 12 pounders on the gun deck. That completes chapter 10. Before I start chapter 11. I still have to go back and put on the gunport lids. I've been holding off on placing them until the last minute to lessen the chance of accidentally knocking them off. I can't wait any longer now.

Guys dont tell me this !!! I am very concerned about the accuracy of my parts once I raise the frames on my LGV. My frames and rising wood could have been much more accurate had I cut them out with my TAIG vs the Proxxon.
Nice technique Mark - Ill have to use this tip.

Stay with it - good to hear they are sending you some additional parts. I too get frustrated with my builds - sometimes its good to walk away and get some perspective.

ChrisLBren got a reaction from Canute in Band Saw Recommendations
Thanks for all of the replies - I will check out all of the recommendations. Merry Xmas to everyone.
As far as the Bandsaw requirements I'm interested in ripping boards into 1/2 and 9/32 billets for a certain French Frigate in 1/36. Because of the amount of wood required (a monster at 5 feet 7 inches unrigged) - I want to be able to do this in house. I believe a good band saw in conjunction with my DeWalt Table saw should do the trick.
The TAIG Mill is a dream machine to work with - much more accurate than the Proxxon MF70. Part of me wishes I could re do all of the keel and frame parts on the Big Belly with it. I want a Bandsaw of the same quality as the TAIG and Byrnes tools - you do get what you pay for.
Best,
Chris

Hello Group,
With the addition of my Taig Mill, Emco Unimat 3 as my metal lathe, I am thinking I need one more tool - a bandsaw to reduce lumber before final dimensioning with my Brynes tools. Thoughts please - ideally I would like to be able to reduce 1 inch thick board to dimensions needed for our hobby. My local cabinet maker is great - however I would like the ability to do this in house in my basement. Christmas is a great time to buy more tools
Happy Holidays everyone !!!!
