I see that this table is on sale for $94.  Does anyone have experience with it.....Moab

Ditto on the link....Thanx....Moab

I know there are at least three grades of ss from light to heavy (whatever Heavy means)....Moab

Got it!! Thanx again....Moab

Thanx guys. I'll check it out....Moab

I've watched the video Kevin posted......I think its excellent.  My problem is I can't find silkspan. Does anyone know where I can get some or recommend a substitute?....Moab

Javier; as usual your craftsmanship is outstanding!!! How the heck can you do all this so quickly?  Have you ever tracked the time it takes to build these incredibly beautiful models?You inspired me to try making one of these (Alghero) and I'm working on my third hull trying to get it right. I don't claim to be a good model maker but perhaps I'll get an acceptable hull by Christmas. Thank you for posting these builds....Moab

Y.T....I went on Lee Valley's website to spend some $$$ and the vice is out of stock. Incredibly it indicated it would be available December 4th....Moab

I'll also vote for the Starrett. Beautifully made, accurate and lives up to the Starrett reputation...Moab

Stwemac.com, a luthier supplier also makes a great router base which I've  used for years. They also have a range of other tools that will help separate you from your money...Moab

As I've said before; your craftsmanship is inspiring and the build a joy to follow... Moab

I agree... the web site is bad. At first I thought this "hand cranked" sander was not for me. But when I thought about the types of sanding I do I began to think I could use this product. My "shop" is 6' x 12' and doubles as our office. With my current electric sander dust collection is a problem. Also some of my sanding needs are minor angle changes or touch ups so a hand cranked sander would work well. I also like the way angles can be adjusted. One downside (I think) is the inability to make compound angle cuts because the table isn't adjustable. ( I need to recheck the web site to check out the deck.)...Moab

Thanx for the feedback. I need to think about it for awhile...Moab

I read the comments above about the Vanda-Lay Acra-Mill Plus which were very helpful. I have limited space and already have a MicroMark drill press which handles my drilling requirements. I scratch build smaller ships/boats (1:100 +-). My "workshop" space is very limited. Anyone have any additional comments about this mill?...Moab

Wow! Thanx to you Gary my learning process continues. Thank you...Moab

Gary; thank you for this incredible build. Very inspirational as well as a learning process for me...Moab

Javier: I "think" I see some of the balsa you mentioned in front of frame 1 at the stem..

...Moab

Thank you Javier. My first attempt wasn't too good but I'll try again. Again, thank you...Moab

Javier; when you begin applying the strakes do you add a small piece of wood at the bow and stern so the strakes have a surface for which to be glued or...how do you do this?...Moab

Thank you for sharing this incredible build with us....Moab

Igor; I just started following your build. Absolutely incredible.  Can  you describe your process for making sails especially the material used, etc. Thank you for posting these beautiful photos...Moab

Javier; do you measure and shape strakes the same way it's done on larger models?....   Moab

Clark; thanx for posting. Keep us posted as you work with the saw...Moab

Incredible photos and build!...Moab

Chris; the Byrnes saw is by far the best small table saw available...Moab
