    Restored log.

    I mostly see Swiss pear and pear sold as slabs. It isnt impossible to get 8/4 or even 12/4 stock but its not easy. Try calling Gilmer. They have great stuff and if you dont see it on their site they probably still have more on the premises. https://www.gilmerwood.com/categories/38-boards-and-blanks/products?utf8=✓&filter=Pearwood&category= Chuck

    Merged final installment of the new replacement log.....enjoy!!! Please be careful around the delete button this time around please, LOL.

    I would do exactly that but time is precious lately. That mention to send a PM for help was meant for any other folks in the future. It would be easier to for me to just ask specifically what a member wants and then tell them what to click off. I just think posting all that here would clog things up in this topic. I am trying hard to help everyone I can, and make the site enjoyable for them. Chuck

    Eric....any updates on your stream creation?
  6. Chuck
    very nice and thank you for recreating the log.
  7. Chuck
    Eric....for example I just created a new default stream for what I think you want.....I have the same selections available as you do and it seams to be working fine. I think you were clicking the wrong filter setting options when setting yours up. But check it out under activity.....is this what you were trying to do?? If it is...just make it your default. NOW I cant set up a million default streams because everyone uses the site differently..... So rather than post a very specific issue here while getting frustrated.......just send me a PM and tell me what you want your current stream to do and i will tell you what boxes to check etc. It all works very well if the correct selections are made.
  8. Chuck
    That wouldnt exactly be fair either....increasing the price for US members to overcharge for shipping as a way to subsidize international members not willing to pay for shipping. Its just a matter of waiting for the electronic version....You cant expect others to subsidize international shipping. Its just not right.
  9. Chuck
    You are selecting all the wrong settings for what you expect to acheive. When creating a custom stream make sure you select the correct "content type". This should have only the "topics"selected. Under "show me" make sure its just "content" that is clicked. I could go on... Then when viewing it.....you can make it the default version which will display on the top right of the screen and it wont be buried. It will be there right on the top. Other than that you will just have to adjust. Also as mentioned.....the condensed version after viewing makes a huge difference. I can also set up a new default stream for content that you posted to. If that is something more than just one or two people use.

    Picture perfect indeed. Well done!!!
  11. Chuck
    Just read the thread from the beginning....I enhanced the many times it was answered.
  12. Chuck
    Click on that custom stream and to the right of the stream name one of those icons will let you delete it.
  13. Chuck
    No its not showing........Once again.........it is not showing.
  14. Chuck
    Yes. Only you and the staff can see your own number.
  15. Chuck
    It doesnt matter. Technically you are a member of both. In fact its more accurate your way. There are probably many NRG members who are not members of MSW and by checking both it lets folks know you are actually members for both. It fine. Thank you for doing so.
  16. Chuck
    As I mentioned.....an electronic version is coming at some point soon But as it stands currently, no. Think about the membership numbers if we were to just save the journal as a PDF and send it out without any protections. One guy becomes a member and gets a PDF and then emails it to all the folks he knows in his local club or here on MSW for free. Membership in the NRG would take a big hit. So they are working on a more traditional and official electronic magazine subscription type thingy. Its coming!!! But I dont know too much about the details and Kurt or Toni can probably elaborate when they get more info together and closer to enacting. But that is for another topic and another day.

    Well done....excellent reference for casting cannon. I also find that sometimes air gets trapped int the trunnion pin of the molds even when vented. But a good solution I found was to make the trunnion much longer as the air seems to be trapped on the extremities of the pin mostly. Making the pin about 1/8" longer on each side does the trick. Then you can just cut them off to the proper length before you use them. Chuck

    Its from when you sign up......the day/month you sign up.
  19. Chuck
    You are welcome...an FYI also. I have reduced the number of default streams to just four for simplicity. But I can create more default streams for everyone. There is one hitch....I cant select individual forums like you can for creating your own. So I CANT for example create one for you to just see the unread build logs. But you can create those as well as any other. I can however create other simplified default streams like the three already there. So let me know if you guys would like that. But keep in mind that too many would clutter up that drop down and might be confusing to some. However with careful naming it may be helpful. So let me know.

    I also adjusted the number of default activity streams under the "activity" drop down so its less cluttered. I removed the streams that we wouldnt use. So now you just see the Unread content stream which is improved and the Content I follow. Plus you can create your own under "my Content streams" The more I get familiar with the options I will tweak whats showing for better usability.
  21. Chuck
    Also As an admin, I am able to adjust the filter settings for the default activity streams under "activity". So I just adjusted those to be more specific to our needs. Now when you click on the default stream of Content I follow it should be much better. It will show you only the topics you follow.....both read and unread. Same is true for "Unread content". This stream will now show you the same, but only unread topics since your last visit. Before I adjusted them they included too much and it was confusing. So please try it again since my adjustments and remembver to hit the condensed display because its easier to read.
  22. Chuck
    Thank you very much in advance.....the Journal is a wonderful Magazine. Chuck

    Cost for shipping the Nautical research Journal overseas. But at some point there will be a digital version but that is some time off. But shipping costs for the journal is quite high internationally. Four issues per year. Chuck

    we just added a field to the profile. If you wouldnt mind editing your profile to select and enter the info. Basically it allows you to select if you are a full NRG member or an MSW member only. If you are a full member of the NRG, you can enter your membership #. Your membership number can be found on the label of your Nautical research journal. It is usually four digits. Just click on account setting under your name and then select edit profile. If you scroll down to the bottom you will see the selection area. This will be important later should you be a full member of the guild.... It will display your choice under the location in each post....you can see how to the left under my location it says NRG Member. Your NRG number will not be visible except to the staff and to you...
  25. Chuck
    Its saved if you get as far as seeing it on the bottom of the dropdown list as a selection. now when you click on it it will take you to the results. As far as editing goes I think you have to delete it and create another one. But it only takes five minutes to do.

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.
