I am doing all that Alan, its the scale that is giving me the challenge. Also on the Mill its difficult to see the depth of the cuts. Ive made some 10 scrapers so far but not happy with the results. Today i am going to see of i can hook up one of my cameras and blow it up on a monitor to get a better feel for the depth of cut. My Turbo carver is small enough to cut the curved surfaces on the hacksaw blades but my smallest files are useless.

Working on making the moldings. Having a hard time with the scale. Most of my tools , blades, files are too large, but i will get it done but it will take a few attempts. So there will not be another video until I get it right.

This blade was not good. Too few teeth, made a lot of noise. Wasted my $5.00

Harbor Freight 4” saw blade. I forgot to say i purchased a 4” saw blade with a 1/2” arbor for the Jim Byrnes saw and it works great. Its a bit noisy but i can now make 7/8th cuts when making bulk stock. It is a bit noisy but works great. At $5.00 how can you go wrong. In the past i used my Proxxon to do this work but it would struggle when making large amounts of stock.

All done so back to making the rest of the trunnels. I hope i can find a case design that allows broken glass to be easily changed.

At the same time i am carrying out a clean up to the Emma Berry and replacing a piece of broke glass in the case. This was an early case i made and it a miracle i got it out with out damaging the rest of the case.

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.
