    Thanks to all for very informative information. There are several ideas that I will add to my building process. Dave

    The wine did the trick!

    Always good to walk away, sip some wine and let things simmer in the back of one's mind. A solution usually pops up.

    I'm looking forward to getting proficient with it. Over the next few days I'll attempt to make the deck pumps from a brass rod. Working on the drawing now.

    Ah, linen tester! Readily available and economically priced. Thanks!

    Nice recovery, Pat.
  22. CPDDET
    Thanks Pat, I will in interested in seeing it. D

    Druxey, that's what I have been using but find it a bit clumsy in some situations. Thought there might be a better method I wasn't aware of. Too bad they don't make these in a smaller size. D
  24. CPDDET
    Thanks betaqdave. That will work when transferring directly to the workpiece. But how about when that divider distance needs to be translated to a decimal measurement? Using the lathe I need to dial in the measurement so I need the measurement from the plan in decimal form. Dave

    Im wondering what tools and techniques others are using when taking measurement from ship plans. I'm slowly, very slowly, moving toward scratch building and finding taking accurate measurements from ships plans a bit clumsy. For instance: I will be making my own deck pumps for Bluenose, turing them from brass stock on a Sherline lathe. This is a small part and the lines on the plans can be quite thick. Do I measure from the outside of the line? The inside on the line? The center of the line? What tools are others using to make the very fine measurements accurately? Tha

    I'm really impressed with your progress. Crisp, clean, well defined. I'm jealous 😜. Carry on Patrick!

    Jig was a great idea. When I did my deck o made somewhat of a mess with the graphite. Never worked with boxwood or pear but I'm sure looking forward to it. The hell with the sanding, you can do that when you feel like it. 😄😁

    Hopefully just a glue failure and nothing more than that.
  35. CPDDET
    Looks like the block slipping isn't really a big deal. Inside planking looks very nice. Dave

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.
