Crowe got a reaction from Canute in Using wood from old downs trees
Check out Matt Cremona on you tube. He just cut up an old log and shows you what to look for on the outside and what you find inside.

Crowe got a reaction from Canute in Transport of a ship
I shipped a model across country with regular movers. I had a acrate built by a pro and screwed the base of the of the model to the bottom of the crate. No other packing material or fasteners. Not a single piece out of place

Great tool. Feels great, nice weight and shape

I don't want to hijack this thread, but this is a sample of what I am talking about on the Prince plans

I am getting nice consistent depths on deck beam cuts such as for fitting to ledges. Staying consistent on a curved surface is difficult and the router plane follows it easily. In the past I would have used a chisel and saw but it is tough to stay true. the router does this and any other dado or slot has as a proper depth.I have been replacing all my 'modelling tools' with real woodworking tools, though they are small they perform as the full size tool does

I have all the planes except for the edger. they are real tools and the router plane has changed everything for me. I did have an issue with the block plane, just don"t tighten the locking knob too much and your ok. If you really sharpen the irons they will make incredible shavings. I'm not a fan of the chisels

I had a hard time getting a really good edge on the LV bronze spokeshaves. But the one from the minature LV .set is great steel and takes a great edge. I can use it with one hand in very tight quarters.
