    Thanks a lot, Kurt, yes, you are right, I talk about the larger table top. So, I'm patiently waiting for Donna's response and meanwhile will add an order for some more items. Joachim

    Hello Kurt, as owner of some of their machines I tried to contact Donna or somebody else of their company some weeks ago via their email-contact given in their homepage in order to place an order for e.g. the extension table for the table saw. Alas, no reaction resp. response from their side so far. Can you please indicate to me an actual way of getting into contact with them other than by phone? Thanks very much for your help. Best regards Joachim

    Cordiales felicitaciones!

    Thanks again for your tip, just ordered one plus spare filter. I think non visible dusts (and fumes) are of great concern to modellers health. best regards Joachim
  25. cotrecerf
    That's gooood news! I'm happy that the manufacture and sales of these wonderful machines will continue. All the best to Donna and her family/team. Joachim

    Excellent workmanship

    I live a little south-east of Bonn over the Rhine in the Westerwald very near to Hachenburg. Joachim

    Danke für die Grüße! I definitely will enjoy it and I'm sure to realy learn a lot and I can make use in my model(s) to come. In 1946 my father was transferred due to unbearable humanitarian conditions from a French POW camp in Marseille out of French custody into US hands to Camp Holabird in Baltimore. He told me once that this hand-over really saved him from severe illness, starvation and death in the Marseille camp. I still own his German-American English dictionary stamped by the camp's library. So I have some personal relations to Chesapeake Bay and Baltimore in particular. Greetings Joachim

    Many thanks to USS frolick of course for the link and to Mark for the confirmation of the book's value. Joachim

    Just ordered the book, many thanks Mark for that link. Greetings Joachim

    Giampiero, tante grazie! Thank you ever so much! The idea to seal the underlying wood with shellac prior to burnishing the metal completely excaped my mind (shame on me) Have a nice day Joachim
  33. cotrecerf
    Buon giorno Giampiero, she is a real beauty! I see, that the blackened metal parts such as chain plates etc show no scratches or uncovered spots at all. How do you proceed with the mounting of these parts: 1. Dry fit the un-blackened on the model first? 2. Take these parts all off again and dismantle the wooden components such as the deadeyes etc.? 3. Blacken (what is the agent?) all metal (brass?) first and then reinstall the wooden components again.? (great risk of hurting the metal and the blackening) 4. Finally fastening of the completed and blackened part on the ship ? Or alternatively 1. Dry fit the un-blackened on the model first and then 2. Blacken them in situ? Not staining clear wooden parts with the blackening agent (Liver of sulphur?) I would be very gateful if you enlighten me in these matters. best regards Joachim

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.
