Johann, sorry to hear the news. Take care, your model is beautiful and we can wait. -
Hello Peter, I will be interested in what others have to say since this sheathing is seldom represented on models. You may find the text around page 34 and 35 in this document helpful: TAR in keel construction.pdf

I think he meant a spacer to change the interenal diameter from the FET saw blades 10mm Correct. I made mine but they are available on Ebay. For clarity, the spacer fits into the bore of the new blade and slides onto the arbour. It doesn't have to be tight, just a good sliding fit to keep the new blade dead centre on the arbour.

Hello Dlowder, and a warm welcome from the UK to MSW (a bit after the event but ...) I have a weak spot for cross-sections so hope to see your Victory. -
I have seen a table saw with a black rectangle neatly drawn with a Sharpie around the blade area. Inside that rectangle was a smaller red one. If the shop foreman saw anyone with their fingers inside the red border they were, shall we say, 'reminded' of the rules (and their expendable status as employees!)

Hmmmmm. I believe you may find some in stock in USA but I didn't make a note of where. Interesting product, is it possible to re-purpose any of their deck sets that were made for specific vessels?

Peter, welcome to MSW from the UK. -
Dave, best wishes, think carefully before using power tools when ill (at the risk of sounding like my mother!)

Flat. Definitely flat. 👍

BTW, when I had the FET I made a spacer/adapter to allow use of thin slitting saws (because I had some sitting around) and they gave a very good result on Castello and other not-too-hard woods.

Dave, I have watched with interest the different ways people make masts. If you want to compare before committing to a process, why not post a thread 'Best wood to use for masts?'. I would expect a lively response (and if you don't want to post such a thread, I will in a couple of months when my project reaches that stage 😁). In the meantime, these guys are good: Timberline Decorative and Specialist Hardwoods | Tonewoods | Guitar Making (exotichardwoods.co.uk) They usually have good stocks of Castello in different thicknesses. If you don't find what you want on the website give them a phone call, not all stock is listed.

Dave, the 20mm oak is probably the problem. May I suggest two things? First, try the same cut on a piece of softwood of similar thickness and see whathappens; second, if 20mm oak is required for your project, try making the cut in several passes by setting up the blade at a shallow height, say 6 or 7mm and raise it a little after each pass. This is the way I cut a mitre on iroko when I had a FET. HTH Bruce

Doc ,if you don't mind I will be watching, this capstan project of Toni's is fascinating. I'll try not to get in the way or drop my popcorn.

Shank = 3/32nd inch I believe, please check though.

Dave, you have probably already found these but ... Busch Bearing Cutter 90° Burr No 414 - Choose from 0.7 to 5.0mm | eBay Plenty of others, search "burr 90". After your post I realised this was the way to go for a rebate I need to cut soon, so thanks for raising the subject. 👍

Dave, this guy on Flea-bay is pretty good: Items for sale by elliott-grafix | eBay Can't see that he has 90 degree burrs listed at the moment but it is worth contacting him. HTH Bruce

Thank you Guy for the kind words, I have returned Mediator to the bench and am planning to make some sawdust soon.

Brian welcome to MSW and I look forward to seeing which kit you put on the bench first. It sounds like you are prepared!

Beautiful!

Guy, I'm really sorry to hear that news. Triton will still be there when you are ready, it is a great thread and will finish one day with a great model. Perhaps you want to pull up a chair and steer me toward the light with my Mediator build which I am resurrecting? Bruce
