Lee Valley Veritas Hand Joinery
Jack12477 replied to Jack12477's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
From the photo above looks like it could be used to taper or thickness plane small stock as well as square off stock. -
Received the latest catalog from Lee Valley the other day and came across this interesting hand joiner jig for their medium shoulder play which might be useful for us ship modelers. Veritas Hand Joinery

Rich, cut them free first, then apply some thin CA only to the area where you want to drill, let dry, then drill. The thin CA will hold the wood fibers together. I have used this trick in wood carving when I have to carve something like deer antlers on a figure.

Gee, Denis, I wonder how they would classify the bi-planes at the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome across the Hudson River from me. Most are 1916 vintage , Nieuwport, Sopwith Camel, Bleriot, etc -all flyable

I believe that is the Nine O Nine B17, from photos it appears to be destroyed.

In September 2008 the Collings Foundation flew their B17, B24, and B25 aircraft into Stewart Airport in Newburgh N, here's photos from that day. B17 nose art and cockpit instrument closture

Here you go Denis. One B36 Stratofortress model- Sorry for the angle but I am afraid to remove it for fear of something else falling off.
-
Denis, have you checked out the Collings Foundation Nine O Nine B 17. It was in Nashua two days ago.
-
Do you mean the Monogram B-36 Stratofortress kit? For its time it was the largest aircraft model with a wingspan of about 36-39 inches. I built one from that kit, it hangs from the rafters in my cellar model shop. I'll see if I can find some photos of it. It has gotten pretty dirty and dusty over the eons. And the decals are starting to fall off.

They were the B-25

They are the same. See following https://forum.woodcarvingillustrated.com/forum/woodcarving-illustrated/woodcarving/carving-wood-materials/26746-limewood-vs-basswood https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilia#Romantic_symbol

Doesn't matter, you can still use it, just be careful to keep your antivirus up to date. I'm still running XP with no issues including no security issues. My wife's Win 7 system has not received any updates since MS tricked the world into installing the Win 10 upgrade. Backing the upgrade off screwed up the update installer and now you cannot even manually install updates. Nor can we restore it to the last backup point. So her laptop will remain Win 7 and mine will remain XP until the hardware becomes unrepairable. Then I will replace both of them with an Abacus

There probably are a few parcels left on Monadnock ! Not quite so far away ! Great mountains views too !

There is a way to preview a post. In the reply window, top row of window, on the extreme right side there is an icon that looks like a page with the top right corner folded over. Click this icon to preview the post, to close the preview click the black circle with the X in upper right corner. Kevin, to see if someone got your PM, at the top of the page there is a header with a world globe and two conversation icons next to it. Click on the conversation icons to see your PMs.

Dust port - hoover connector
Jack12477 replied to Matrim's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
I have had good results using the rubber plumbing connectors shown below to adapt different diameters to my vacuum cleaner

It got stuck in an atmospheric traffic jam between two High's.

Must be down at shore enjoying all them lobsta's. Lucky him ! I did get to Maryland last week to enjoy some of their Blue Crabs. BTW the Jet Pack does deccelerate and lands at a gentle speed.
-
A nice Jet Pack works, Lou. You could be "at altitude" in under 10 seconds

Lou, they do make ear phones so you don't disturb the Admiral

Frank, I used those green Velcro cloth plant ties to hold my boat to the back seat of the car. I loop it thru the child safety seat anchors hidden under the car seat back placing one leg under the build board and the other leg under the boat and over the board. Overlap the two legs about 5-6 inches and the will hold it fast to the car seat. Drove 3 hours with a model to conference and return 3 hours with no ill effects. The strips are about 1/4 inch wide and can be found in the garden section of Lowes or Home Depot.

Shop Fire Extinguisher
Jack12477 replied to Roger Pellett's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
A fire extinguisher that is rated 2A:10 BC means it has a fire fighting capacity equivalent to: 2.5 Gallons of Water and 10 Square Feet for a BC Type Fire. The letters stand for the class of fire the extinguisher can be used against: A – ordinary combustibles (wood, paper, plastic, etc.) B – flammable liquids (oil, gas, petroleum, etc.) C – electrical equipment D – metals K – cooking oils and fats -
I bought 2 AL kits directly from Tower Hobbies about a month ago. Both kits came in boxes that were taped closed and all the contents were sealed in shrink wrap. In fact all the AL kits I have purchased in the last 5-10 years have come that way and none had missing parts. Was your kit sealed when you received it? According to News reports Horizon Hobbies acquired Hobbico in April 2019, at least the RC business unit. Tower Hobbies still has an active website.
