    Many thanks for a praise of my work! As those I didn't do full-scale drawings of a saw as didn't plan it to build once again. Construction was conducted according to separate sketches and working drawings. Diameter of a shaft of the electric motor available for me, diameter of bearings and the sizes of saw disks which I wanted to use (outer diameter and diameter of an opening for fastening) were a starting point for their development. I chose the size and a table design after production and preliminary assembly of rotating details. Design of this saw, proceeding from the main ideas, it isn't difficult to reproduce under any other set of details.

    Thanks for the comment, Keith! This type of connection justified itself in use my saw. It so was pleasant to me that I used similar connection and in other machine - the drum-type grinding machin which description I will publish a bit later.

    Thanks for so pleasant assessment for me my workshop! I had to spend a lot of time for its creation and efforts, but results while suit me.

    Concerning Unimat lathes on the Internet there is a lot of information, in particular and at different model forums. The majority of modellers consider that these machines are suitable for production of various wooden details for models of small scales (1:90 and less). From the experience of application of Unimat lathes I can tell that production of a mast with a diameter more than 4-5 mm and more than 200 mm long already a problem. Therefore at a machine choice everything depends on that the modeller is going to build.

    Hi, Sjors! The correct decision to refuse Unimat purchase. A few years ago I bought its version 8-in-3, but already in half a year started raising money for purchase of the small-sized lathe, allowing to process metal, a tree, plastic and other materials. The PROXXON lathe (not only for a tree) - a good thing, but expensive, it is possible to find machines with similar characteristics, but is cheaper.

    Hi, Keith! You correctly understood everything, torque transfer improves, noise decreases. Connection which I applied in a saw - a self-made version of Elastomeric coupling R + W EK, TX1. Such connections are issued the industry, look at a photo and also, for example here http://www.rwcouplings.com/products/elastomer_couplings/index.php?adword=google/EKE/elastomer%20couplings&gclid=CPH3lJupjbYCFURf3god5DkAXw

    Hi, Keith, many thanks for the comment! In reply to your questions I report that the form is made of self-hardening plasticine. After its hardening in it silicone (it is shown in a tube on a photo) is filled in and after silicone hardening (about 2 days) the crosswise plug is received. Via this plug rotating parts are connected from the electric motor and a saw. The plug prevents a contact of metal parts of the drive.

    Hi, Tylmo! Yes, please use, in parts or all design - as it is pleasant to you. For this purpose the description also is published. If there are questions - please address.

    Hi, Dave, thanks for the comment !

    And you won't regret because it isn't necessary to keep mind how to fix model.

    Thanks for an assessment of my work! It would be very good to have 10 people of assistants, then it would be possible to construct much more models ! Unfortunately, it is necessary to use only own hands.

    Karl, not only you burned brass when I started soldering with a gas torch, at me it too sometimes occurred

    In the course of Montanes construction for production of details I used available for me jig saw (table saw) - self-made "minifactory" for thin laths and an interline interval, FET PROXXON for thickness to 20 mm and MJ10200J Feida for thickness to 40 mm). I have come to a conclusion about necessity of construction jig saw, deprived, whenever possible, lacks of the listed units (the design features sometimes essentially complicating operation; time and the efforts spent for maintenance of accuracy of a cutting; the big noise etc.). In particular, at FET saw a disk – tightening the screw constantly so gets jammed the extremely unsuccessful knot of fastening that I already two times had to cut off its head, differently a disk was not to remove (the same lack marked also others modellers). Initial ideas of construction were: - The basic range of a cutting – wood in the thickness from 0,5 to 20 mm; - Accuracy of a cutting 0,1мм; - A cutting under various corners; - Table adjustment on height; - Reliable knot of fastening a cutting disk and simplicity of its replacement; - The stock of capacity excluding (reducing) overheat of the engine at long work; - Noise reduction. As a result of viewing and the analysis of a considerable quantity of descriptions industrial and self-made jig saw at me the design shown on a photo has turned out http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/82-montanes-by-garward-occre/page-33.

    I use shellac or OSMO oil-wax.

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.
