  1. SL = M12x1 Unimat 3&4 = M14x1 BTW, some Sherline lathes had M12x1 but most (the later ones) had M12.25 x 1 Bruce
  2. To be clear, did you put on the Zinser first or the shellac?
  3. Just moved house and this is destined to be my new workshop. It will be dual purpose: the outer (street) end is for general woodworking and stuff with modelmaking taking up the back half. It's been dubbed 'the fiddleyard'.
  4. Andy, both of the crew went into the Aegean trapped in the wreckage.
  5. In the 1915 shelling of Kavalla by RN monitors the Farman biplane acting as spotter was torn apart by turbulence from passing shells without actually having been hit.
  6. Hmmm. If I understand correctly, you are seeing a door to the toilet from the cabin and also a door to the same toilet from the balcony: correct? Also, this was repeated on both left and right sides?
  7. Hello Francois, There are several other drawings in the Dansk archive as well. They are all together, numbers G2343 to G2390. Here is the link to G2343: Arkivalieronline Use the control on the top bar and the list on the left side to view the rest of the series. Here is the link to the library index cards, the process is the same. Arkivalieronline Have fun, there are thousands of images! Bruce
  8. Very impressive, Ab. I will be watching to learn. Bruce
  9. Found this unidentified vessel in an online collection of photograph albums ( [Photograph Album] : Eppler, Arthur O., 1873 - : Free Borrow & Streaming : Internet Archive ) Staring at this, I almost sympathise with the U-boat commander.
  10. "ON NAVAL TIMBER AND ARBORICULTURE; WITH CRITICAL NOTES ON AUTHORS WHO HAVE RECENTLY TREATED THE SUBJECT OF PLANTING" 1831, by Patrick Matthew The story behind the scenes of the techniques devised to keep the fleet afloat including the shipwright's methods. This book is in the public domain. Another scan which may be easier to read is viewable here: On Naval Timber and Arboriculture - Google Books On_Naval_Timber_and_Arboriculture.pdf
  11. It's interesting to see the difference between this build and my CAF longboat, purchased about five years ago. The kit has evolved. One of the changes is the more detailed stern. I had already decided to replace the plain stern in my kit: now I see Tom has had the same thought. hmcarlin, you're off to a good start, I will pull up a chair.
  12. A tungsten dart works very well. If you plan on working with metal, it's worth considering having a dedicated scriber for metal and saving your awl for wood.
  13. From experience: this works very well but DON'T burnish/rub down the numbers. Just set them in place, press gently and lift away the carrier sheet. Don't ask me how I know.
