Filler Blocks
Jimz66 posted a topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
Is it okay to use Balsa rather then basswood for filler blocks? I am starting with the Fair American and the Armed Virginia Sloop from Model Shipways. Does it really matter if I use one or the other? I have a very limited tool supply and no power tools yet. So I was hoping to use the balsa for that. Especially in the bow where I have to shape everything correctly. I wasn't sure if that was okay or not thanks. -
Someone knew FAR in advance that I was coming to this forum. Ha ha ha. the NJ is one of my favorite ships. She's looking mighty fine there Hank.

Hey Dr. Watson can you post a better picture of that steam thing? I can't really tell how the inside is set up. I am going to try another idea first but if that doesn't work, I might give this a try. Thanks. Hope your doing okay in this brutal cold in CT.

Anyone ever use it instead of wood fill blocks? I don't have any of the bigger equipment and won't for a while just wondering if I can use that instead of wood filler blocks?
