    Thanks Jay, A good reminder to all of us, I guess I've a few thousand invested on the book shelves when I sit back and think on it, and it is an investment worth protecting. Also a good idea on letting the other half know of that investment sat on those shelves (just in case), trouble is I dont know how she will take to me sharing that value - I'm sure she doesnt know the half of what I've spent!over the years!

    Geoff, Knees, breast hooks, and other curved pieces (such as frame components) were selected and cut from the forms that trees naturally took on as they grew, so a knee for example may be cut from the junction of the trunk and a branch thereby taking advantage of the strength in the natural wood form. There wasn't any manipulation of tree forms as they grew, just a good eye from the shipwrights to pick out the potential uses from the trees on offer. That is why as stocks of timber grew scarce in the UK iron knees and fastenings were increasingly in use from the latter part of the 18th century. Gary

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.
