    Hello, being a master goldsmith and working with these drawplates on a day to day basis, please take into consideration that jewellers' drawplates are not designed to scrape away material. On one side the holes have a deep taper to facilitate wire to be reduced in diameter by compressing the metal (and lengthening in consequence, volume of wire remains the same), on the other side, the holes are chamfered. You'd have to grind away a considerable amount of metal from the side where the diameters of the holes are smaller to get to the point of the nominal size of the hole, their smallest diameters. Otherwise, these drawplates don't cut.

    You could easily make one yourself: Take a strip of wood, say about 5" long for the dimensions you are talking of, drill a hole for a pencil into the middle of it (length- and widthwise). Drill 2 more holes with exactly the same distance ( about 1/2") from the middle hole for 2 pins that protrude on one side of the wood strip farther than the pencil tip. To use, put the gauge over the wood strip you want to mark so the pencil tip touches the wood, let the pins slide along the edges of the strip and draw along the strip. There will be a short length at each end that is not marked as there is nothing the foremost pin can contact there. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DpXG2vYt_0Vk&ved=2ahUKEwjWqYuP-NiEAxU9gv0HHV4JAb44FBC3AnoECBAQAQ&usg=AOvVaw3Ek9IhL7iSkQCpkaSGAWFe https://www.bosch-diy.com/de/de/all-about-diy/community/4015448 Deluxe version: Centre line gadget

    Actually, it translates as: "thunderbolts of the (an) insulted king". Seems Google mistook "fulmina" for "femina", the latter meaning "woman". 😉

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.
