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.
Micro-Mark MicroLux LaserKnife 2525 – A Review

Bilge Rat,
I have the Microlux LaserKnife and couldn't be happier with it.
I've been to the MicroMark site and they have a video that shows you the hardware setup. And your being such a smart guy I don't see how you wouldn't know the difference between a water pump, air pump and exhaust fan.
Also, from my years of experience with Micromark"s customer service I can't see how you can badmouth it. Something obviously went haywire. Their customer service has always been the best of any online retailer I've dealt with.
All of your problems seem to stem from the fact that you didn't check the alignment or clean the mirrors and lens. And what makes you think the lens was upside down?
No, this machine won't do whatever you want it to out of the box. There is a learning curve like there is with any machine you are not familiar with. And don't expect it to do what its not intended to do. Take your time and experiment with various settings. There are sample materials included which you could have started with instead of trying one of the hardest woods known to man as a first attempt.
Since you didn't return it, you obviously finally figured out how to use it.
