Hi. Thanks for the replys.. I believer in the right tool for the right job. I look at the saw as an investment and something I will use a lot. David. As far as the micrometer stop. I did look into weather I would use it and.. no was my own answer. Just looking forward to using the saw.. It's my first power saw so I got myself 2 books "The Accurate Table Saw" and "Table Saw : Workshop Bench Reference" So a bit of reading first. Is there any better books out there that deal with the small saw and close tolerances ?? Regards Antony.

Hi. Well I have lashed out and gone for for the Byrnes saw with extra blades etc. Just waiting now ..Tick Tock .Tick Tock. Regards Antony.

Hi Juan. That's a very nice cross section.with wonderful workmanship. Please continue to post lots of photos. Regards Antony.

Hi Tony. Thanks for the information most helpful. It looks like its the Brynes saw for me. Most of my timber will be 6mm thick and I will be wanting to use the saw quite a lot. Regards Antony.

Hi. Jumping in here... Is it not possible to use the Byrnes saw blade in the Proxxon FET ?? Or another manufacture blade ?? I am looking into buying a saw at this time and am watching this topic with great interest. The cost of importing with the vat and taxes makes the Byrnes saw very costly and would be a big chunk out of my hobby cash. Regards Antony.

Hi. Looks like a wheat freighter on the Great lakes. Antony

Hi. WOW ...says it all. I could list of loads of words but none would do your build justice. I have Solidworks and never got around to using it.. Having seen this is a real inspiration to me and I guess others Regards Antony.

Hi. Jim has replied with a price. Looks like I will be getting one after seeking some advice from those that have this saw. I am looking at the 230v Byrnes 4" Table Saw (w/24-tooth carbide blade, 1/8 high rip fence and miter gage) and the Auxiliary Tilting Table And the blade recommended above for the tilt table. Thurston - 4" 80-tooth .04 kerf (recommended for the tilt table) Also getting one of his Drawplates. The question is:- Is there anything else for the saw I might need ?? I will order next Monday so any thoughts please. Regards Antony. Edit - BTW never owned a power saw before.

Hi Martin. I think you are right. I will wait for jim's reply and make up my mind. Regards Antony.

Hi Colin. Very nice I also would like to know how you finished the Orlop deck so nicely. Regards Antony.

Hi. I have been looking around for a small bench saw. I found lots of information on the Proxxon FET but a lot of the information is quite negative and I don't want to spend cash on rubbish. The Jim Byrnes saw keeps coming up as a very nice bit of kit.. I have contacted Jim (today) to see if there are any distributors in the UK. And to enquire on the price for shipping to the UK. Now the question I am asking is. :- Are there any decent small bench saws in the UK ? Would be interested to hear from fellow modellers that use a bench saw and there views on what's required for modeling. Thanks in advance Antony.

Hi. Second time I have read through the compleat log. Very nice work and nice use of the mill and rotary chuck. I have the same kit to build in the future. Will take your build as a guide and target to standards that I would like to achieve. Please continue posting as its a real inspiration to me and others. Regards Antony.

Hi. Having looked at another build :- hms-victory-cross-section-by-zeptraderuk He has constructed the deck as removal while building .. Good idea. and adding deck framing more to scale. Have done me some drawings (basic) that I will use on my build. Will add a few more photos tomorrow as we proceed. Regards Antony and Karl.

Hi. Very nice work it's turning into something to be proud off. Love the photos. And I like the way you have added own ideas into the build. Makes it personal. Regards Antony.

Hi Tom. Coming along nicely and is a credit to you and your skills. I like the effect and effort you put into the barrels/casks. They look awesome. I must say your finger nails look cool Regards Antony.

Hi Tom. Very nice work and some brillant ideas. keep the pictures comming. Very intrested with this build. Regards Antony.

Hi Colin. Very Nice work. I like the idea of having the Orlop being removable while working on it I also like the extra beams..Adds much more detail and looks just right. Still folowing this build as I have just started mine. Regards Antony.

Hi Thomes. Looking like a fine ship you have there. Will you be adding the main mast. yards and standing rigging ? Watching with interest and learning. Regards Antony.

Hi Tom. It's nice to hear that you have made a recovery and getting back into ship modeling Nice work there. Coming along nicely. I have just started my build of the same DeAgostini victory. I also used Lime for the planking and Walnut. A question .. What is the notch in the keel for ? And a second question . Are you going to build as per instructions or bash the kit ? Regards Antony.

Hi. Yea ..... you people know your ships . Anja wins. Photo taken in Plymouth sound. 10 miles away from me. Nice one. Regards Antony

Hi.. That was an outside guess. Here is one for you. No clues at this stage. Regards Antony.

Hi. Or the H.M.S. Pandora. Regards Antony.

Hi. Is it the Nanuk ? Regards Antony.

Hi With the Corel Victory cross section almost completed we ( me and my son ) decided to start on this build. I will bash the kit as and when we come to it. Lots of little things as far as I can see. We started by removing the frames from the laser cut boards. some boards were distorted a little but this is not cause for concern. a very sharp knife was used for this cutting both sides of the board. We then sanded most of the charring from the frames with a nail board. made easy work of the charring. All the frames were offered together and with minimum sanding to make a perfect fit. Then glued the frames together in place over photocopies of the master frame drawing.(7 frames 7 copies). Then all the frames were sanded and excess glue removed then stacked together with a false keel and cocktail sticks to check alignment. They all looked spot on to me Then we built a jig to hold the frames while assembling the keel and the frames. Degostini just used a scrap bit of the laser board as a spacer. Not to my liking as its easy to get a twist in the assembly at this point. What’s not shown is the square that fits on the top to hold everything square. And the Back board made from MDF with a photocopy of the master frame drawing. That’s about it now until next weekend when my son visits. Regards Antony and Karl.

Hi. My views are different from the others. But seeing you have asked.. Not so happy with Corel HMS Victory cross section. Instructions are very poor. And Corel left out a lot of detail that could have been added. The wood was very good. But some of the fittings were unusable with out a lot of modification. Hammock stays we're trashed as the holes were at completely the wrong angle. Rigging blocks were trashed. Not all the fittings were there according to the list supplied. I don't normally diss things but this kit was poor. Regards Antony.
