    After much planning, trial, and error, I was able to retrofit this dry-erase board to part of my workspace. The board was no more than $10 at Home Depot. Not magnetic, unfortunately. It is mounted with two closet brackets also from HD. Scrap wood was used to space the board from the wall. It holds the Mayflower plans nicely. Steve

    Hi Moab and welcome. There are a couple of sources I will check out. https://www.crowntimberyard.com/ http://www.ocoochhardwoods.com/ Steve

    Probably not the smoothest functioning Serv-o-Matic, but it’s functioning fairly well and complete. Chuck sent me a new set of gears so I have a couple of extras. I’m making a couple of adjustments to my workspace. Mayflower construction will begin soon Steve

    Disk attachment. The drum attachment will destroy the frames. Steve

    Nice progress. Steve

    Would the baseboard in cedar be too soft? Steve

    Very nice! Steve

    Good choice. Lots of sanding next. I was able to use my rotary tool for some of the sanding, especially at the bow and stern. You would need to be careful though. I hit this part in several sessions. It’s tedious, but very important. All the remaining work rests on these frames, which need to be very thin. Steve

    Thank you. It is a beautiful machine. I’m not looking forward to gluing with CA, but it must be done. The cherry wood is very nice and perfect for this. I’m looking forward to clearing this little project off the work space and starting the Mayflower. Steve

    Partial assembly of the machine. The gears are not glued to the brass tubes. I suggest test fitting the gears and rotating them before you glue to make sure they rotate freely. Two of my gears were just a bit off when I glued them and this caused them to not rotate freely. Parts are laser cut precisely. Chuck is mailing me some new ones. Before assembly, a third sanding and coat of Wipe-on-Poly was applied. A very smooth finish was the result. Steve

    They will barely be seen in my opinion. Steve

    Very nice! Steve

    A very precise build so far! Steve

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.
