    Which glue is best for planking ? I’ve tried Titebond but you have to hold in place forever if you can’t clamp it.

    I’ve added a bit of ammonia to hot water and that seems to help. I soak the wood for about an hour.

    I ordered stock from Joseph and it was easy. Great service

    Thanx for sharing Bob. Great video (that led to a few other neat videos). There’s a gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico called Tai. It features Japanese baskets exclusively. They are awesome.....actually unbelievable. Again, thanx for sharing.....Allan

    There is a jig called (I think) “Fair-a-Frame”. I’ve never used it but have seen it sold by various suppliers.

    I’ve never used anything but needle nose pliers to change blades. Easy to do after you’ve done a few.....Allan

    Get all three! 80 for aggressive wood removal and rough finish. 180 is less aggressive, and will give a nice finish but not super smooth. 320 is not aggressive but will leave a very smooth finish.

    All good suggestions. You should also check to determine if the fence in parallel to the blade. If the fence is even very slightly angled into the blade the wood/saw will bind or even kickback.....Allan/Milo

    Thanx for posting. Great video although I wish there was audio with some info. Do you know what type of motor was used and the power source. I'm a real neophyte at this....Allan

    I've seen this used by jewelers to measure thickness of metal. Not sure if that's the primary use or what the other part is. Milo

    I find changing blades on my Hegner easy. I use the fast release fixture and it works well. Like most things it takes a bit of practice but then becomes easy. Milo

    Byrnes machines are fantastic. I've used other power tools for our hobby but none match Byrnes products. In addition to some of the other comments I wish the sander had variable speed. I know there is a speed difference from the center to the outside of the disc but adjustable variable speed would be great. I wish you could add adjustable stops on the miter gauge for the table saw. This would be a huge help when making repetitive cuts..... Milo

    Guys; I'm new to the forum (and ship building) and reading this great thread in 2016. I'm currently building the Ranger. Are there any new tips on tying and which glue to use? My knots are terrible and I must confess that I use ca for glue (because it is fast). Any suggestions or updates! Thanx.....Milo

    Thanx Mark. Milo

    I'm beginning the rigging on the Ranger. I've lost the instructions and hope someone can tell me what rope size should be used for the shrouds and the corresponding size for the seizing. Thank you.....Milo

    Thanx Brian. I did look but obviously in the wrong place. Thanx again.....Milo

    I'm considering building the Constructo Louise Steam Launch but I've never built a Constructo brand kit before. Can anyone offer any info on the quality (or lack of) of Constructo kits and/or the Louise Steam Launch in particular? Thank you......Milo

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.
