    Lining the gratings up
  12. Kevin Kenny
    I was struggling with the adjustment screw on my Preac as it kept changing caused by the vibration of the saw and the slackness of the adjustment screw, so i have ordered a jack and hope this will keep the adjustment more stable . I remember someone making an external adjustment screw for the Preac but cant remember where or how it was done. These steam gratings are so small that i ended up making them solid instead of removable. Pity. If the jack works ill try again but wont get it for 2 weeks when Susan returns from NY.

    I needed some more wood do out to the outside workshop to cut some stock and almost had an issue. So decided to make a rip jig for this saw. Strange as I never cut up small stock on this saw always on the Proxxon. Here is the jig I made using Green heart and Juniper wood .i should have done this a long time ago. Its nice to be able to make your own tools.

    Hi Tom David does not like power tools while Greg is like me and loves them. You will see this demonstrated in book 3 of the Swan Practium . Having said that David’s approach is to learn carving skills using gouges . I found that to work at this scale and the size of the cathead it was easier to use my Turbo carver to carve the diamond shapes. David would definitely disagree and use a v shape gouge to achieve the same result. I will continue to practice using the gouges but have no issue using power tools to achieve the end result. Sorry will not see you this year, my next visit is in December as we are planning white Christmas in upstate NY.

    I had a lot of trouble holding the piece and made up this one from a Jewlers hand clamp . It worked great and since I already had it, the price was right.

    Catheads installed. That was brutal. I will have a lot of repairs to do to the moulding and the paint job. Easy fix its just a pain in the ace.

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.
