  1. I place a piece of wood under the piece to be drilled. Keep it tight to the piece. Works great...Moab
  2. I currently use a twenty year old Microlux drill press. It’s showing it’s age and I’m thinking of replacing it. I’m considering a Proxxon drill press but I’m also attracted to the mill.  I’ve never done any milling and would probably use the mill for wood most of the time. But the mill would need to function as my everyday drill press also.

     

    My indecision (mill versus drill press) is based on how easy/convenient/etc. Can I really use a mill as a drill press or am I kidding myself that the mill can be used daily as a drill press. I can only purchase one. Any thoughts?...Moab

  3. Great to see this project again. Looking excellent...Moab
  4. I saw an ad for this cement which indicated it was “great for rigging model ship lines.” Has anyone used this product?...Moab

  10. Hello Michael; as always I’m looking forward to your build. It’s interesting how a new project seems to necessitate other sub-projects (e.g. reorganizing a shop, new or modified tools, etc.)...Moab
  11. Vaddoc; a beautiful boat and sails to match! You probably mentioned this somewhere but what material is used for the sails...Moab
  12. Welcome Rick. MSW is a great forum. You’ll get whatever help, advice, etc. you need from individuals who know the craft. Not sure about live steam. Good sailing...Moab
  13. Beautiful work. I’ve never used a mill or metal turning lathe but I totally admire the parts you create...Moab
