i ordered 2 books on the 18 of november , when i called they said that they were returned to sender so they have sent them to me again , Cathy even gave me a tracking number , i have ordered several books from them now one came within a few days but all the others have taken a little bit of time , but they did get to me and in perfect condition, the books are worth the wait so be patient and you will be rewarded

all great suggestions , i did look at the band saw tutorials when i got my band saw and i think i have it setup as best as i can , i haven't used it much so some practice pieces are a great idea , i've also contacted an orange orchard near me to see if they can spare any timber but haven't had a reply yet ,

i ordered a piece from gilmer wood its boxwood and measures 2 5/16 x 4 7/8 x 24" not sure if thats enough , i think its more than i need but i wont know till i start ripping it , thank you everyone for your help and suggestions

just checked the syren website and they have yellow cedar , is that ok to try ?
-
thank you , i found some pear that i may try and if not cherry as a backup. i have a byrnes table saw and thickness sander so i can rip small sizes of wood , actually i have a cheap full size table saw so i can probably rip larger pieces in to smaller chunks for the other equipment.

its a fully framed pof model , i need wood other than strips , i will check model expo

technically not my first project but i am going to try my first full ship, the Hayling Hoy< i am just about to finish a blandford cross section that i used mostly cherry for , that worked out well ,i was wondering if i should stick with the cherry or try something else . i thought about boxwood but cant seem to find it anywhere same with pear, what are your thoughts on this and if you do have a suggestion , where can i get it from? thanks Anthony

i know about this one but i'm not sure about the material used for the construction , not sure about its longevity ,

not sure if i have made a mistake or not, i wanted to build the victory , i have built one from a corel kit and although it came out ok in the end i wasn't happy with it so thought about doing another one , i wanted the caldercraft one as i know it is the most accurate but decided on the panart one after visiting the Lauck street shipyard , at the time it looked like the best option for me as it would need a lot of scratch building to make it look good , i've had the kit since my birthday in august but told my wife to hold onto it till xmas as she never knows what to get me . yesterday i had a quick look at the kit and i am not impressed , it will require a lot of work to bring it up to decent standard but i'm wondering if its worth it, my first question is how accurate is the hull shape , if its ok then i can work with that , but this will be a future project and if i keep it then i would like to know that i can produce a decent model from it , if not then it is time to pass it on to someone else. i have a couple of projects that i would like to tackle before the victory (again) so it would probably be in a couple of years , what are your thoughts , is it accurate , worth it , or should i try for the caldercraft one (eventually)

again thank you , i am leaning towards a mill as i can see where it would be useful ,are there any brands to steer clear of ? is the proxxon one the same as the micro mark one?
-
i have the byrnes table saw , the disk sander and the thickness sander , a cheapish scroll saw that works and an oscillating drum sander , plus various hand tools . i bought the table saw after selling the micro mark one that i bought and used once , it was horrible . thats when i realised that you have to pay for quality tools , thank you flr all the suggestions i will look into the rasp
-
i am going to be embarking on my first full pof build , the Hayling Hoy from the book and plans by David Antscherl , i already have most of the tools that i think i will need but i don't have a set of chisels for carving and fairing the inside of the ship , i don't want to buy cheap (throwaway tools) but something that i will be able to use for more than one project , can someone recommend a make that is fit for the purpose? also the next tool i would like to buy and i will have to save for a while to be able to afford it is either a lathe or a mill , i think the mill would be more valuable before the lathe but what is everyones opinion on this subject and possible recommendations ( i"ve been looking at the sherline series of metal working equipment), thank you

tilt arbor table saw
Anthony Hearne replied to Anthony Hearne's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
there seems like a big gap between the table and the bed , is this a problem for smaller cuts? -
tilt arbor table saw
Anthony Hearne replied to Anthony Hearne's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
i searched for videos on using the tilt table and only found one , he was complaining about the need for 3 hands to set it up and that the 2 small allen head bolts that hold the angle weren't strong enough for multiple cuts , also that these bolts had to tightened up to the point of stretching the threads which would fail over time , is this correct ? i have the sliding table but as of now , haven't used it , but then again i'm only at the beginning of my scratch building journey , i have , however , on several occasions needed to cut specific angles on the x section i'm building now , so i feel that i have a need for something just not sure that the tilting table is it. -
i have searched for the answer to this question but get differing responses . i own a byrnes table saw , which is excellent , and i completely understand the reason for keeping the blade at 90 degrees . i looked at the tilting table attachment , but find more negative reviews than positive , but i find that i need to be able to cut at an angle more than i realised so i'm trying to find a solution to that problem, the only thing that i have found is the tilt arbor table saw from micro mark , but its $350 , is there something that i have missed that i could use to make angled cuts (fairly easily) with the byrnes saw?
