    Hi Joe or is it Wacko ? I am following a Utube vid "Canoe hull loft in Solidworks". By Behnt. This looks like the best bet for me. I have the Longridge and the McKay books on the Victory. So it's going to be a long hall. But self satisfaction is the key to enjoyment while learning. I will report any major steps here as I go along. Thanks Antony

    Hi Wacko. Thanks for the pictures. They look brill. I had the software some years ago. A friend went to collage and bought the software and quit collage and engineering design. So I ended up with the software How did you get the curves for the frames ? Inport a scan or draw freehand ? Regards Antony.

    Hi. I am just getting into CAD modeling and I have Solidworks ver 2005. I am learning the very basics at the moment. Not easy at when your over 60. The purpose of learning this is I want to do a very detailed cross section of the Victory. My question is... Is there anyone else out there using Solidworks ?? I have found a few very good Utube starter videos. Any advice apart from telling me to change software is welcome (as I already own Solidworks the cost will kill the project). Many thanks Antony.

    Hello Karl. I have just finished reading through the entire log. It has taken me some 3.5 hours and at every photo I am amazed at the skills and quality of this build. You always add that little bit more detail and enhance the already perfect build. Please keep the photos and build posted as I am following this build. Regards Antony.

    Hi. I am now the very pleased owner of the Byrnes saw. I have been working through the link provided below ( and a very usefull like too). http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/2593-cutting-scale-timber/ I am an engineer by trade that has worked to dead size tolerances and when I look at its build I can tell that Jim is also a engineer. Every part of this saw is made to exacting standards and quality is outstanding. No wonder you people over the puddle send so many rockets into space with this standard of machining and quality. I have to say this is one quite machine and I could use it in the lounge while skipper is watching TV. So far I have produced timber that far exceeds the timber I have purchased. Tolerances and finish are wonderful. If any one has any questions ..Please ask. Would I recommend this saw ... YES. Regards Antony.

    Hi Rusty. Nice work on the brackets. I love the colours you have used on this cross section And the quality of your work is outstanding. Regards Antony.

    Hello Juan. Congratulations on a very nicely constructed cross section. One of the best I have seen. You should be very pleased with your skill's and workmanship. I can only say that I am looking forward to your next build regards Antony.
