garyshipwright got a reaction from tlevine in Work Table Recommendations ?
Hi Dan welcome to the club. As others have said it depend's on the room you have. Am lucky to have a two car garage and a extension I added on to make more room for my stuff. As far as work benches and desk looking at other people shops help you in figuring that out about what you want. Am always asking some one for photo's of their shop, some times just to see their shop which also helps me use their ideals for things in it must like work benches. I have never had any one say know and we all like showing were we spend are time working on our hobby's. When I built my hobby desk I used Woodsmith plan of their small scale Hobby Bench which is on the cover. It reminded me of a jeweler workbench, and I have alway's wanted one. Nice thing about building your own is what you can add and the detail you put in to it. I also have a 8 foot wood worker bench. My 74 has its on workbench and is much to big to build it on the hobby bench. Her work bench is height adjustable and I just added a tilting to it that allows me to tilt it one way or the other. Really is nice for working inside the hull. The Woodsmith issue is Vol 37, No 219 Dated June/July2015. Forgive for the mess. Gary

Thanks Albert and Hubac. The patination is a finish that Ed came up with when he was building the Naiad, which is a beeswax dissolved in turpentine to a dilute solution along with 17 years of time. Gary

You know Allan, I wonder if we can talk the person, who's name shall not be mention in to sending some of us mere mortals a few shot's of his work shop ?? I wouldn't mind seeing his library either.

Thought I would add some close up photo's of Montague. I was on the NRG site and came across the article by Kurt on taking photo's of ones work and figure I needed to practice a bit. Guess I have to find a little space for a photo booth when taking good photo's of my ship. Well guys one day maybe I get the hang of taking good photo's, hope you enjoy the close up. Gary

Thanks Druxey and Oliver. Well who know's, maybe if I practice a bit more I just may get good at it, taking pictures that is. The table is a blessing. It has height adjustment and tilt now and its a back saver. Wish I had done this years ago and really getting lot's of use out of it . Really make's working on her a lot more enjoyable. Again thanks guy's.

garyshipwright got a reaction from jansmiss in HMS Montague 1779 bygaryshipwright - 74-gun Alfred-class
Hi guy's. Here's a update on the build but this time it is more about her building board. I add a way of being able to tilt her from side to side which helps keep the back in tack and a lot easier getting to thing's. I worked on a couple of hanging knee's and being tilted made it a lot better. I can't take the Credit for it which goes to Alan/AON and the tech info on it. Hope you enjoy the pictures and any question will be more then happy to answer them
