    Sorry to hear that. But best to take care of business. Wishing you a speedy and full recovery.

    Sorry to hear about your shoulder. Hope the MRI results show nothing major. Hoisting those beers can be tough. But I can relate to your feelings of guilt. Spring cleaning and yard work has my progress delayed and my Bluenose is feeling neglected. Here's wishing you a quick and complete recovery.

    If anyone is going to purchase a lathe or mill, or if you have recently purchased either of these I highly recommend viewing these videos. Very well done and very informative. While they are based on Sherline products, many of the topics will apply to other brands as well. http://www.minimachining.com/

    Nice work! Well worth your time and effort. I've learned, and continue to learn from your build log. Thanks for sharing. Dave

    I believe this process was covered somewhat in an issue of the Nautical Research Journal.
  19. CPDDET
    I assume your using a lathe. Wood or metal lathe? Brand? I have a Sherline lathe and could be of some assistance if your using that. I set the cutting edge of the tool even with the center of the piece I'm turning. Speed & feed are determined by the material being turned. Your lathe manufacturer should be of help with your questions.

  22. CPDDET
    Wondering if anyone is using a pantograph to copy sections of build plans? Some items on my build plans are shown at twice scale size. Thought it might work using a pantograph to trace at scale size, cut out the item and then glue / past scale size drawing to whatever medium being used (wood, plastic, metal) before fashioning the item.

    How wonderful to have such a beautiful hand down. And knowing the history makes it even more precious. A family heirloom for sure! Thanks for sharing.

    I have been very happy with my 2 sided japanese pull saw. One side for soft wood and one for soft wood. It's a flush cut saw so the blade is very flexible. 5 inch blade isn't too cumbersome. Cuts quick and clean. https://www.amazon.com/SUIZAN-Japanese-Flush-Hardwood-Softwood/dp/B07T9K59D1

    Hey Ed, my first ship build as well. Welcome to the wonderful, tedious, maddening world of model ship building. I'm almost positive I got the port lights at Modelers Central. They are in Australia so took a while to get them. You may want to ask around on one of the forums for someplace in the US. Many years ago I lived in Sugar Grove. Now I'm just south of Huntley. Dave

    Your ability to think outside the box always amazes me. I squirrel away your great ideas as I'm sure I will adapt them to my build at some point. Great work as always!

    Seems like there is always something that causes work delays. There are many weeks when I only manage a few hours in the shipyard

    Thanks for posting your findings on the blocks. I'm taking notes.
  31. CPDDET
    Yep, Richard. I'm really starting to enjoy the challenge. And the satisfaction as well.

    Thanks!

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.
