    like a number of you I have been considering options for installing featherboards on my saw. In particular I wanted something to provide horizontal pressure to hold the timber against the fence. I also wanted something which had a degree of self adjustment (to avoid resetting every cut). The attached photos show my solution. The arm is spring loaded (elastic bands) and this allows me to rip over a range of 1/2 inch without resetting. To reset I move the arm to the next hole, this takes about 30 seconds. The mechanical advantage on the arm means that the force holding the timber agains the fence is about 50% greater than the force applied by the elastic band. While the elastic band may appear to be a bit crude it actually works very well and of course has the advantage that the force can be varied by simply adding or removing elastic bands.

    Hi Guys - I need some help! I have been attempting to buy a Byrnes table saw using the Byrnes web site and have also tried to contact Model Machines using their web site email page. When I try to use the web site check out I get "Safari can't verify the identity of the website "host2interwebinc.com" and if I try to proceed further I get a 404 error web site not found. Also I have sent 2 emails via the web page but have had no reply. I know Jim uses the NRG site and that lots of you have had contacts with Jim in the past. Can anyone suggest an alternative method of contacting Jim or Model Machines. Regards Keith

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.
