Power Tools for a Fully Framed Build
WackoWolf replied to ChrisLBren's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
When I pick up my stuff a few months ago I had grab The chisels that the Dockyard Model Company had, in fact a few of us grab them while we could still get them the company that made them went out of business, and the company that still had them in stock were selling out not even sure if Lee Valleys has any left. But do understand I get a good amount of my stuff from Lee Valley like Planes, Clamps and what ever catches my eye. I am not the only one that buys from them. Check out there web site and have them send you there catalogs, believe me looking through there catalogs is like being a kid at Christmas time all over again LOL. If you look in the tread about what have you receive today go back some and you will see the pictures of the ones that I have gotten, I spent some money for what I got but I got most of them. I still have this pictures of one of the orders for the chisels, I know I made more than one order. Hmm looking at the picture maybe that was the whole order, but I am sure I got something else, old age setting in lol. -

No matter which Mill you buy, you get what you paid for. Why buy something twice when you can just buy it once and it will last a heck of a lot longer than a cheap one. And yes I also own Sherline. -

Also if you have a mill you can learn to start making your own stuff instead of buying it same with the lathe make your own tools as you need them. Takes time but you can do it. Like Mark said you will spend more than what the base unit cost, I know I have most of the stuff from Sherline, I am not saying that's a bad thing but a good amount I could have made myself LOL, but I like my toys LOL -
Take your time, don't rush, we will be here for when you do the next post. Your doing an excellent job.

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.
