    Thank You Jay, Bob, Mario, Michael for Your reply. Bob, your build of the Spray is beautiful I know it from the older forum of MSW and I didn't know that is made of poplar, so you can say that is bending well? Mario, I didn't know that poplar will turn that good and I your smasher is just awesome. Jay, I have 2 planks 10mm tick by 10cm wide poplar and is pretty consistent in color all white. Maybe I have the right part . I'm not sure about the bending quality, I will have to test it. Michael, yes I will have to cut some planks to test the bending of poplar. And lot of people use pear for firewood and I think that is just sad, poplar is not that rare and is ok to use it, I think.

    Thank You Pete, J.Pett, Dida and Hakan. Dida the wood that I use for the stem and keel is pear, for the other parts I will use some sherry, poplar and walnut. Hakan Yes is harder to this scale and I will try my best not to lose to much details. For now I'm struggling with the bulk head tapper at the stern and stem, hoping I will manage it somehow. Pictures of my error soon

    This is the ultimate homemade tool. I mean really is made entirely from metal! and is looking so nice. I mean you can manufacture this and sell them as pies
  22. sonicmcdude
    Is nice and simple. I'm not sure I understand how is working. Maybe some pictures from the jig in action will do the job Thank you for sharing!
  23. sonicmcdude
    Nice solution, nice design. Not sure I understand it but from the pictures I think is pretty simple. When I will be need it I will be back on this post
  24. sonicmcdude
    That is just beautiful. I like it all. This is a place to steal a knowledge for tool making. I like the mini drill press, in near future I will have to build one for my rotary tool. I don't really understand the lowering mechanism you know with the handle and stuff. Maybe with more pictures from other angles Thank you for sharing

    This is nice solution. Specially like the maxi table . I was thinking to build one in the future and by that to be independent from contractor for sawing thicker wood. And by the way I like the secured rotary tool wrench it makes life easier

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.
