    I agree with the post above. There are some quality miniature violin and instrument makers planes for sale that would do the job. https://www.stewmac.com/luthier-tools-and-supplies/types-of-tools/planes/ibex-archtop-carving-planes/?mtm_source=google&mtm_medium=cpc&mtm_campaign=|+GOO+|+SHOP+|+NBR+|+AllProductsUSA&gad=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwpc-oBhCGARIsAH6ote8k5FM1ZSIXOeLHQJgpnKMuTwe2myVtyY8pmua7QYJY9EdipLC2B54aAs7zEALw_wcB#mz-expanded-view-853390225766

    Thanks for the link. It looks like they do not have this particular instruction manual for download. So I am still on the lookout for a copy etc.

    I was gifted an old kit of the Artesania Latina HMS Endeavour and it appears to be complete except it is missing the step by step instructions. Does anyone know where to obtain a copy of the instructions? I have the sheets of plans, just needing the instructions. Thanks Gwyl

    Jeff, She is looking good. It's nice once the construction starts. Gwyl

    Patrick, I just spent the last 1 3/4 hours going through your build. What attention to detail, and the hundreds of parts that you have made so far is incredible. And the 'J' is such a wonderful subject. I'm looking forward to the rest of this build with anticipation! Gwyl

    Yo can use a technique that rubber powered model airplane builders use. They take extremely thin strips, and laminate them into the curve they want. The laminating process holds the curves very well. They also still steam or soak them in hot water to bend to the approx shape before laminating.

    I have no idea if these would fit your application, but some sewing machines use this type of toothed belt drive. I sew canvas products for some sailboaters, and I have seen these in catalogues etc. Gwyl

    Igor, Nice work. Tiny and detailed. Gwyl

    Hi QA, I have both a large table saw and the Byrnes table saw. Like was mentioned above, both are dangerous and should be respected. One note, on the Byrnes, most of my cuts are really shallow, 1/32 to 1/4 inches( I keep the blade only high enough to complete the cut), so if I were to slip and get snagged by the blade it would certainly hurt and probably require stitches, but I would think I would still have my digit. Unlike the larger saw, where the blade might be above the table an inch or even up to three inches, if a slip were to happen, a digit might be totally cut off. Just remember, they are power tools and no matter how small, they can still inflict serious injury. Gwyl

    I agree, Sharp and small. Also, watching a few carving videos on youtube or vimeo, where the carve is using the V chisel in different applications can be of great help. This gives you an idea of how the tools work and what to expect. Gwyl

    On my Byrnes saw, I use a zero clearance insert when using the tilting table. I helps with the thinner stock. Gwyl

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.
