    Today I tested my homemade wood lathe. I'm not going to win a designer prize with it. But she does for what she was made to do : Making masts for model ships. VID_20200525_133126.mp4

    While thinking about making the masts. I went looking for a wood lathe. There are lathes for a reasonable price. New or second-hand. But why don't I try to make one myself. Can't be that difficult. I thought So all my spare time on the weekend is spent in a self-made lathe. Ingredients A drill. Part of my worn out drill. aluminium profile. Bolts, nuts and screws. Time... And, to my own surprise, it worked. VID_20200525_133126.mp4 Mizzen, main, foremast and bowsprit. Dry fitted (all still too long and not at the right angle) Thanks for following

    Hello everyone. Work in progress, update Further work on the interior and the pots and pans of the chef. Some brass cooking pots Metal pans (actually a panther wheel and a copula of Russian armed car). A Ladder. And of course firewood. And the planking of the deck. The deck planking was more work than expected. An example of a forecastle with some kind of grating. A kitchen, pots and pans, but no food on the table. Boring... 😴 Thanks for following

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.
