    It took me a little while to get started but finally have a small update. I received the missing instructions and plans from CAF so all is good there. I started to put the keel together and started to build the cradle. The thin wood parts for the cradle were significantly warped so I needed to find a way to deal with that. I opted to get a nice straight piece of wood shelving from Lowes and nailed the lower parts to the board and then nailed 3 cradle parts on top down on top of that. Takes a little more space for storage but it worked as planned. I'm a little worried that the warping may be a problem throughout the cradle parts. The keel assemble was pretty straight forward. There are 3 sections for the keel. They are CNC cut and have a pretty nice fit. Some cleanup is required as expected to get a nice fit. How I did it. And the assembled keel in place. Up next is assembling the stem and stern deadwood. A little worried about messing this up so a few deep breaths to start.

    Thanks vaddoc. I was considering that for the smaller model stuff. Thanks for pointing that out Roger. I do see that now.

    Thanks Bob.

    That makes sense jaager. I don't think I want big, heavy and expensive so I probably should rethink this. Thanks

    The Byrnes table tilts. I find it to be a very useful feature.

    Bigger than ship model type drilling. So something that can handle up to a 1/2" bit but also bits less than 1/16. If there is such a thing.

    I have the byrnes also. Its definitely better built.

    I think the larger one is a little more versatile. The 125 is pretty small.

    I'm looking to buy a drill press. I'd like one that can handle both big jobs and little jobs. Any suggestions?
  16. JeffT
    I have it's little brother the 125. I especially like that it's variable speed.

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.
