I was able to place an order this afternoon for a couple of accessories.

Although I would definitely recommend buying the Accessory Pack (or 2) from Byrnes, the insert screws are #2-56 1/4" and available from Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073RC5LJC).

Motored Syren Rope Rocket (Modification)
RichardG replied to modeller_masa's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Ah, the joys of prototyping 😀 I will be following your progress with interest. I like the idea very much. -
Just as an FYI, Sherline no longer makes the T-rest. I bought the mounting bracket as a spare part from a dealer last year; this leaves me with the T part to make (which should be fairly easy😀).
-
This is why I make my own. They're nothing like as good as these though.

Looking good 😀

Would something like this work for you? This is a small bearing (3mm hole). It can just be screwed to any flat service. Sharpen the end of the dowel for the bearing and this would remove the friction. https://www.gobilda.com/1603-series-face-thru-hole-pillow-block-3mm-bore/. I have bought a few items from them in the past and have always been happy.

Work bench width and height - any recommendations?
RichardG replied to Dr PR's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
When I moved into our home about 19 years ago, there were already 2 benches in an L against the back and side of the garage. Over the years I found these to be ok. There were 2 problems, I couldn't get to both sides and the depth at 28 inches was too far for me (I have short arms). This year I made 2 additional benches both smaller and on locking casters. I also made them different heights. A shorter one for heavier work, which also, by an odd coincidence, is the exact height of my 10" small table saw. This also has a wood vice at one end. The other is about 4" taller for detail work. I'm also planning to buy an adjustable height stool. Looking at the longer term, both benches are "portable" and only bolted together. We are expecting to move to a smaller home in a few years, so these should still work there. -

My garage is reasonably (aka to my wife as really. really) dusty. That keeps people at bay. -

A ship's stove too small to print? (For La Jacinthe)

Excellent! Could dry-brushing with a slightly lighter color bring out the detail?- 17 replies

Welcome Lee, I can't help you with reading line drawings (I still have to learn that). However, you can read my search for plans here https://modelshipworld.com/topic/29641-source-of-plans-for-a-clyde-puffer/.

I hope everything goes well with your move. Having moved from the UK to the US, I know that moving to another country is complicated. At least here in the US I could mostly speak the language. All the best. Richard.

Various applications of 3D drawing
RichardG replied to 3Dships's topic in CAD and 3D Modelling/Drafting Plans with Software
FYI, Fusion 360 is free for hobbyists (https://www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/personal). It is cloud based as you say (although files can be saved in an offline (local computer) cache). Is it the best? For me it's working well. My usage is for 3D printing and designing parts to be made on my lathe and mill. However, my 3D printing is not for models. I make jigs, brackets, tool holders, etc.. My last drawing was a prototype for a bracket to be made on the mill from aluminum (when I finally get it right 😧). I chose Fusion 360 because it seemed best for me and the price was right. There is a steep learning curve but I actually found it easier to learn than all my previous attempts in 2D cad - which was a surprise. Like learning most complex things nowadays, internet searching is essential.
