    Update: Have been working on a new work area. Ran a 20Amp line with a 4 gang receptical box. New Oscillating Sander by Shop Fox. Good deal from Amazon.com at less than $160 with free shipping. Makes lot of noise, but can't beat the price. Craftsman 16" Scroll Saw. Its been sitting in the box for three years. Very smooth with not much noise. Needs pin blades, haven't found any with a small front to back size. Harbor Frieght Micro Mill. Love this mill, the 'Z' axis fine adjustment is the dial just above the light. Still need a tilting table. And the last item is a Brynes Disc Sander. What a dream to use. Makes fast work of chocks. Bob Wescott

    Thanks Trussben and Greg, I had a great time and learned much. Re-doing the shop now to set up the scroll saw that's been sitting around. Then to get a Oscillating Spindle Sander and a disc sander, then I'll be set. Bob W

    Update Here's a shot of the parts before attaching the Rising Wood. It shows the two 1 1/2" spacers to make sure the Rising Wood is centered over the Keel. All clamped up. More to come.

    Hi Jim, Used some 0.020" hard brass wire from a spool I've had for over thirty years. Can't remember where it came from. The holes in the keel parts were drilled with a sensitive drill chuck in a 8" drill press. Both halves were marked then drilled. The bolts were blackened with some brass oxidizer from a engraving shop that I've had just as long. Bob W

    Working on the Rising Wood. I didn't think I could do a clean job of the three faces on the saw. So I used a stop clamped to the miter gauge to make sure the corners were sharp.

    Hello Everyone, I will be attending the upcoming Admiralty Models Workshop on the Echo Class Cross Section given by David and Greg. I'll start by saying I messed up the parts Greg sent by using a black construction paper that was too thick. No shop in my area had any of the correct paper. So I sawed up some boxwood I had on hand from Hobby Mill and started over. What I came up with was some tissue paper that I colored with a brown 'Sharpie'. This seems to work ok. The False Keel The Keel and False Keel And the jig made for holding the keel for the carving of the Rabbet More later, Bob W

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.
