  1.    Ryland Craze reacted to a post in a topic: Malco saw blades
  2. CPDDET
    The Malco website is still up and running as of today. Wonder if Malco will remain Malco under Martindale as a seperate company?
  3. CPDDET started following New to Shipbuilding , Malco saw blades , Wood for bulkheads? and 6 others
  4. CPDDET
    I see Malco has 4" , 110 tpi, .040 circular saw blades for about $30. Catch is the minimum order is $100. I was wondering if anyone else is interested. I need 2 of these and looking for anyone else interested in ordering another 1 or two. I will order and ship to anyone interested. Payment can be made through Venmo.

    I'm thinking cherry at this point. I've used it for some parts of my Bluenose and found it easy to work with and easy to obtain. Should stain nicely to imitate mahogany.

    Thanks for the education. I should have said frames instead of bulkhead. While these won't be visible, I would like like to build as historicly accurately as possible. The frames on the original would be oak with mahogany planked hull. Is it even possible to use these types of wood? Or am I way off here?

    Will be starting my first scratch build of Hemingway's Pilar 1/18 scale. Trying to decide if I should make the bulkheads (13 of them) from ply or solid wood. Any advice would be much appreciated. Dave

    Wrap appropriate size wire around a drill bit of proper diameter to make your own.

  30.    CPDDET reacted to a post in a topic: 3D printing material question
  31. CPDDET
    Thanks for that input!
  32. CPDDET
    Can this material be milled? I have some parts with voids that need to be filled in order to avoid thin walls, then milled to create some of the voids. So the material would have to meet that requirement as well. Example: the foredeck winch has a round protruding tube where the winch handle would be inserted. The walls of the tube are too thin to be printed. But if I have that void filled it could be printed. I can then mount the winch on my mill and drill out that void creating the needed tube for detail. I understand a high detail resin produces a rigid, opaque product? Learning a lot here!

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.
