Hi Custom milling will always stay my main service, so high tolerance strips and sheet will always be offered. The standard sheet idea is just to make waiting times shorter for customers who need few sheets, tolerances there will also be same +/-0,1mm. The sheet quality will stay the same, it just produced in a bulk and to stock. When making sheets in bulk then efficiency is higher also, so i should be able to offer lower prices for those. But like said it will take time to build stock. Regarding pieces for masts and yards the tolerances dont need to be 0,1 as it will be made round anyways. Please let me know if you have any more questions. Also suggestions are very welcome. br Vahur

Hi Everyone, Hope you are doing well! Some small updates where I am with Hobbymill.EU and some future plans. Shop has been renovated and to be honest it feels good. Next plan is to invest little more machinery and speed up the sanding process as that takes most of the time but thats still far away. Regarding stock i have: - real pear light - real pear dark - swiss pear dark - Alaskan yellow cedar - Castello boxwood - European white maple - white hornbeam - black hornbeam - American holly is out of stock but im trying to get some of that in near future. Future plans: I have an idea to build smaller standard stock for most popular sheet sizes for pear and boxood, both in metric and imperial. That will take time to do but at least plan is there. Also im building stock for strips that are suitable for masts and spars example 3x3mm to 10x10mm. Meaning those at some point can be bought per piece and also price is much lower than today. Only difference is that those have tolerance of about 0,2mm. When making an order already then you can ask if that specific size is already available. Big plan is also to open more proper webshop that would offer also laserable solid maple, alder etc sheets to supplement custom milled orders but again that takes time. If anyone has any questions then You can contact me here or send email. In mean time, happy modelling. Br Vahur / Hobbymill.EU Some photos of nice pear i have in stock.

Hi Thank you everyone for suggestions and support! Shipping to UK is no problem. Delivery time depends on queue and order size. Nothing is prepared as sheets or strips, every order starts from big piece of timber as thats the only way to minimize the change in color. If you have questions you can message me here or via email. Here is photo of very fresh delivery of new pearwoods and others.

Hi, Workshop is open and renovations almost done. Cant finish the project fully as then there isnt anything more to fix ;). In meantime new stock of black hornbeam has arrived. Thank you Alex from Proper Plane for helping with new contacts!. Also smaller batch of real pear with very nice brownish color has arrived, will post some photos of that little later. As side product i will start offering also pen and knife blanks that are made for different cutoffs and wastes (boxwood, pear etc), if someone is interested can contact me directly but those will be listed on ebay mainly.

Hi Everyone! I plan to close Hobbymill.EU for about 2 months roughly starting from mid June for bigger renovations. Hopefully im open again from mid august. Trough renovations i hope to achieve shorter delivery times for orders and at some point add some new products. Plan is also to include family to manufacturing process to help me out a bit. In regards of orders i will stop taking in new order from end of next week. Of course i will answer up on requests but delivery dates will be in August. As development and new products i have ordered some black alder samples in 3 different colors. One of biggest thermowood producers is in Estonia and they offer A grade thermowood in 3 different colors. Hobby modelling, Vahur Hobbymill.EU

Hi, There are extra holes for moving pieces but you can always drill few more, plus the fixing "lug" has oval holes for moving. I would say its minimum size is few cm with some adjustments. Br Vahur Hobbymill.EU

Hi, Hobbymill.EU is yes open. Web ordering is closed and orders are handeled by email. Please send your request to hobbymill.eu@gmail.com Br Vahur Hobbymill.EU

Hi, Just noticed this topic. I cut most of hobbymill.eu with 80 teeth 0,8mm 80mm blade. For very thin pieces i use more teeth and slimmer blade (example 1mm). Adjusting feed rate helps a lot with cut quality. To remove burn marks put spacer on fence that ends little after blade meets the stock. Idea is what strip will be loose and will not get stuck between fence and blade after it meets the blade. Br Vahur Hobbymill.EU

Hi, I dont have any maple sadly. I think very light swiss pear might so something that you are looking for. Boxwood is yes yellowish. For white deck there is also option to use American Holly. Br Vahur

Hi all, There hasnt been any updates for long time . Some Clients have asked if im closing down the shop - not at all. I had issue where drumsander broke down and i was basically closed for few weeks. Luckily i learned thing or two about fixing drumsanders..... Regarding stock. I have plenty of Castello boxwood, Alaskan yellow cedar, black hornbeam and Swiss pear (different shades). Limited quantity of American holly, white hornbeam. Regarding Swiss pear. As have gotten reasonable amount of very very light Swiss pear. So at the moment there are 3 shades available: 1) Dark (Swiss pear - elsbree steamed) 2) Light/pink (true pear steamed) 3) Very light (Swiss pear - elsbree steamed) Photos below give better overview of the shades. Note that if you are building a bigger project where orders are divided into longer period of time then please let me know. Then i will keep named sample of the color i have sent You with the first package and do my best to follow that in future orders. As always all requests can be sent as PM here or hobbymill.eu@gmail.com Br Vahur Hobbymill.EU

Hi Jaager Ship modelling community is small and mostly consists of older men (no offence please!). Me being 36 years old and not even finished my first build im thankful to community for warm welcome and all the advice: advice and blessing from Hobbymill US Jeff, kind words and advice from James and Chuck, positive support from everyone from MSW. You have been supportive in MSW community with your deep knowledge on different topics and have been kind to share them! Please contact me via pm and you get the briar for free of charge, only cost shipping. Please note that i cant choose a piece, it will be what it is-i just find the box and take fair amount from there. br Vahur

Hi Jaager, There is indeed somewhere a box with biar (more than piece on photo, i just have to find that box). I just ordered it along with other spices as i have buddy who makes pipes. Sadly the quality wasnt good enough for him but probably is more than fine for deadeyes and blocks. I havent done anything with wood myself other than to cut it smaller to see if inside is good for pipes. Br Vahur

Thank you Christian

Hello all, Havent posted anything for a long time . First of all I would like to thank you all for the trust. Its very pleasant to see that 99% of Clients are very happy with their products. Secondly i would like to apologize for long delivery times. Its summary of holidays, being sick and moving to house. Im trying to catch up on those. Thirdly there has been so many orders/requests lately so i cant really understand whats going on. This created a situation where queue is 4-6 weeks as i only work on Sundays and evening as for me its hobby also. At some point i thought if i should close the shop as it just takes so much time from family. I have read stories about good wood suppliers closing exactly for the same reason. After thinking over it for a week i decided to make investment to bring shop to next level and keep up with the normal deadlines of 2-3 weeks. As a side note i run custom made metal facade factory on daily basis so setting up a shop something im use to. In nearest months + during the summer i will update the shop with some new equipment (machines, feeders etc) and also room layout to make it more efficient. Until then please accept little longer delivery times as usual . The webshop has been closed as most orders come in as email anyways but webpage is up there (not been updated). Sadly i have to say that i had to look trough the prices also as everything has gone so expensive starting from heating, saw blades etc etc etc. Regarding stock i have limited myself to: pear, c.boxwood, Alaskan yellow cedar, colored hornbeam, white hornbeam and holly. Cherry and other spices are might be available based on request. Thank you all again for trust and support! BR Vahur Hobbymill.EU
