    Wow! Impressive Denis !

    Kevin, follow the links in Post #10, they are 7/16 diameter
  4. Jack12477
    No, that's the full size one. I want the miniature table top bench as shown below. It's perfect size for small stuff and it accepts the mini vice. m

    Yea making a video of making a toothpick is tad silly. 😬 I wish they had used a more serious subject because the mini tools are excellent tools, perfect for tapering ships planking, square an edge, or even thinning a plank. And I have used them on 1:1 stuff where the full size tools are too big for the task. That depends on what you are using it for. I have a full size wood vice (two in fact) on my Sjoberg Hobby Bench which I use a lot. And I have used vices similar to the one posted. But when it comes to clamping the size wood we use for our model ships, I find both woefully inadequate or plain over kill. And I have tried several of the keel clamps for holding the model which I quickly discarded as more of a PITA than useful. I have a decent selection of Veritas and Lie Nielson planes for 1:1 work. As for metal bending, the "metal" I need to bend is PE brass and "the Bug" from The Small Shop does an excellent job for me.

    I wish they would publish the plans for the table in this Video
  7. Jack12477
    Yes! It comes with instructions and diagrams on how to attach it. Mine is still in the box waiting for a suitable small bench. Been looking at various mini tables on YouTube for ideas.

    Just got confirmation from Lee Valley that my order for the board and one set of dogs has shipped, the other set of dogs are backorder and will ship soon. Admiral doesn't know it yet but she's giving it to me for Christmas 😊😇

    While browsing the Lee Valley website I came across their online 2021 Christmas Catalog. On page 36 they show this cool miniature worktop with 1/3 scale miniature hold down clamps. This is a nice addition to their 1/3 scale miniature Veritas tools.

    Looks good Edward

    Or place a Kleenex tissue over the flash if you can. Try just 1 thickness of tissue to start, add more if needed.

    He's going to need major therapy for that leg caught in that bear trap ! 😳 Looks good Edward !

    You could use a 4mm Macaroni Chisel . No, it's not something you eat😉
  18. Jack12477
    Yep ! That's why some of us refer to them as United Parcel Smashers

  24. Jack12477
    Oh ! Big Leon ! Was never a big fan of Hogan's Heros show. You slid that one right by me 🤦‍♂️
  25. Jack12477
    Must have been a rather rotund individual to require 2 axles and 4 tires to carry all the weight. 😊😇

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.
