    By the way I received this drilling positioner tool today. Looks very nice, well made all metal.

    I have unpleasant experience with DSPIAE tool maker. IMHO their tools are bad but made to look as expensive quality tools. I have their circle cutter. All hex head adjustment screws are made of material so soft that their hex indent gets broken first time I tried to have them adjusted with hex key.

  13. Y.T. started following Rope serving machine , HMS Falken - little sister of HMS Wasa , HMS Portland 1770 by scrubbyj427 - 1:48 - 4th rate 50-gun ship and 4 others

    Well. Wasa had sunk on its own. Design problems. What about Falken? Again problems with design? What was the reason for it to sink?

    I tried my old jewelers draw plate today. I easily drew my 3.87 mm wood dowel into 3.5 mm and 1.78 bamboo toothpick into 1.5 mm. These are the sizes required for the tool in question.

    I am sure you'd enjoy making it but your expenses will be 10 times the purchase price of $25 US.

    I had not much success using a dowel plate on wood. I found no way to draw it through holes. It beaks if drawn or pushed through. May be I need to know some technics? How to draw the wood through the holes?

    Here it is for a third of a price. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009136471457.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.pcDetailTopMoreOtherSeller.1.7a1eFTQvFTQv0U&gps-id=pcDetailTopMoreOtherSeller&scm=1007.40050.354490.0&scm_id=1007.40050.354490.0&scm-url=1007.40050.354490.0&pvid=27f490df-9fae-4fba-9710-2122afaa99e6&_t=gps-id:pcDetailTopMoreOtherSeller,scm-url:1007.40050.354490.0,pvid:27f490df-9fae-4fba-9710-2122afaa99e6,tpp_buckets:668%232846%238113%231998&pdp_ext_f={"order"%3A"250"%2C"eval"%3A"1"%2C"sceneId"%3A"30050"}&pdp_npi=4%40dis!CAD!54.57!34.38!!!39.24!24.72!%402101ec1a17501082161951638ecee0!12000048045620437!rec!CA!4223898072!X&utparam-url=scene%3ApcDetailTopMoreOtherSeller|query_from%3A#nav-description

    But still very hard to resist the temptation.
  26. Y.T.
    This is cool tool. I would be especially interested in axial center drilling. Thinking over it I can see that to have a good centered hole I must use very accurately dimensioned round dowel stock. I measured my so called 4 mm dowels and they are all 3.87 mm. I have to put it into a groove marked as 4 mm DIA. The drilled hole will not be at axial center. I am afraid it will be very noticeable by the eye.

    This photo is just a support of my advocacy for shiny ropes. At the end ship model is always an artistic representation of a real ship.
  28. Y.T.
    My opinion is the rope shine just adds the beauty to the model. Just IMHO.
  29. Y.T.
    I bought all three. 24 TPI for rougher cuts. I use 32 the most.
  30. Y.T.
    I recommend this machine. I own it. I use it. It will last. https://www.shipworkshop.com/product-page/sm4-series-serving-machines-wrapping-machines

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.
