Thank you Craig for your kindness in thinking of me. What a lovely image, looks like it might be starting to liven up a bit judging by the water. Michael

michael mott replied to Moab's topic in Metal Work, Soldering and Metal Fittings
Hi Moab I have done a little sketch If you drill a hole in a block of hard wood for the copper to slide in and use a saw and or file to cut a couple of cuts across so that the slots act as guides for the file then clamp the lot to a bench so that they stay in relative position to each other, turn on the dremel to the slowest speed and the file into the slot and file a little then blow out the filing or add an extra hole under the area that is being filed so the filings can drop out.. The dremel was purchased in 1977 ish I can fit a flex shaft to it as well -

Hello Moab I used a Stubbs Olympic #2 flat file with the wide sides ground off I spotted this set on ebay I would say that the #2 cut will do the job but you will need to get the sides of the file safe by removing the teeth to get the sharp edge. Obviously this is going to change the file for anything but the narrow edge cut. Michael -

michael mott replied to Moab's topic in Metal Work, Soldering and Metal Fittings
Hi Moab I am wondering about the file that you used I thought I would try what you did and chucked up a bit of 1/16 copper rod in an old dremel I have and used an old flat needle file that I had ground off the side teeth so that only the edge teeth cut, the tricky part was keeping the file steady, I ran it at the lowest speed on the switch Then I cleaned the ends off with some flush cut side cutters My that is a tiny piece. I think the file might be the suspect. I hope this helps. -

A nice looking vice Richard, I'm guessing the moving jaw is also a slide fit on the base. Michael -
Thanks for the comments and interest. I had to make a start today....sort of like playing with a new toy. first the raw material I taped the lines drawing to the drawing board as a rough guide, and chose some Albalene drawing paper and set it over the drawing. next the baseline and the station lines, and diagonals were drawn according to the stated dimensions, using the table of offsets working out from the center line. Beginning with the sheer line, and marking off on the station lines I used a stick of clear pine 1/8th square as the stick for the ducks.

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.
