Not that i havent done anything but planking takes time. Now when milling planks myself i see how good the steipa could really be, sadly i cant change hull planking strips in middle of the build but will definitely use my own for decks. So but…looks rough before sanding but will look nice afterwards. Like said before not the best but satisfied for 1st try with sigle layer. Nicely bening ayc, pear or boxwood would make it much better. Lets see if i can finish planking this year. A and yes….frames somehow i managed to install to other side-make it to stand out of the crowd (nice excuse). Vahur Hobbymill.eu

Welcome!

Hi all, Hope you are doing well as modelling season after summer has really started. New products are listed on web but not all. Check: https://www.hobbymill.eu Some updates: 1) HMS Winchelsea is now offered also as Boxwood version. Listed price 322 EUR 2) Syren Ship Model Companys Cheerful 1806 wood package with milled stripes has been added: - Boxwood version - 170 EUR - Yellow cedar version - 130 EUR 3) American holly has arrived and looks great. It truly is white with almost no visible grain (sry for bad photos). As its not a big amount and each piece is different dimension its offered based on request. If someone is interested in full blanks then feel free to contact me. - Im still waiting feedback on stabilized hornbeam. When i sent in the final order then supplier just disappeared, lets hope i catch him soon. - Light pear (stock running low) supplier went trough his whole lot and came back with no superprime blanks (i respect the honesty when they said this isnt the quality you want). But luckily i found after weeks of searching an other one. I just sent them order and lets hope i get it soon. - Saw blades....yes interesting turn of events.... So its been really hard to find suitable blades even with adapters here in EU. I finally found supplier who makes them by order with clients modifications. I got some pieces with D100 that cut really well. I had problem before with boxwood and hornbeam thicker than 7mm but these worked really well. I will order some 80mm ones also as i think those are even better. At some point when im sure myself that the blades are really good then it will be available for orders also. Only reserve is that you must buy sheets also or be existing client so i dont become supplier for blades. Im still testing if hollow ground (0,2mm less than teeth) helps with cutting or not. Contact me directly here or by email if there are any questions etc. Quoting fellow member "Happy modelling". Vahur Hobbymill.EU hobbymill.eu@gmail.com https://www.hobbymill.eu

The package is about 3kg. Vahur

Thank you for the feedback Gary . It upmost important to please the clients and exceed expectations. Vahur

Hi Buy planks of plywood and just start. Every machine is different, same goes for materials. Only way really to learn is trough failure-i have ton of scrap plywood from experementing vahur

All those hold edge good when done properly. Ayc is easist to shape from those 3 i would say. All those spices are offered by Modellers sawmill. Not sure about postage cost in US but maybe they can provide you with some samples if you ask and pay for postage. Its best just to try them i would say. Vahur Hobbymill.EU

Hi Finally found holly supplier who sells from home(US). I just finalized test order of 50 pcs of 1”x2..3”x20….25”. Should arrive in 3-4 weeks…maybe. Will inform when its available to order. Probably i also offer them as blanks also. If someone is already interested you can email me and i will mark down the intrest and reserve needed qty(no deposit required). Heres also photos of few samples of the shelf-i hope my eye is correct and sellers premium is really premium . Vahur Hobbymill.EU

Hi all, Small update as modelling season is coming I have added few new spices (strips and sheets): 1) Hornbeam - nice light color. Still looking for stabilized black, blue, red and yellow. 2) Dark pink Swiss pear - quite few photos added below where dark and light are together. Nice contrast between them 3) Ebony I have also made quite good contact with one possible Holly supplier and probably will make order for smaller batch. Development: I also offer strips with caulking already done. Attached are photos with test done with swiss pear and AYC. Email for quotes and more info. Those are not listed on web yet.

Hi How is it going with planking? Vahur hobbymill.eu

Lego duplo works really well

Hi When i was thinking about cnc (finally decided to make laser instead) i was looking far Stepcraft. Ofcourse much more expensive as 3018 etc but seemed to be high quality German made. https://www.stepcraft.us You can also buy additional head for laser engraving but it really wont work for cutting. Vahur

hi Nice to have people with same area. I work daily together with ukrainians, nice bunch. Vahur

Hi Allan Do you have Estonin background? Vahur

Hi Thank you all for input. I went teough all my EU suppliers today and feedback is big no. I will contact US suppliers and see what they can offer. It all comes down to price in the end but i hope to get as near to the original source as possible. It would be awesome if i could offer that. Vahur

Hi, Does someone maybe have source in EU for American holly. If not Eu then maybe US but not retail or small shop so its close to the source. As you imagine its almost impossible to find "holly wood" supplier in google . Vahur Hobbymill.EU

Hi all Web is operational now and new products added constantly. Please contact me there for orders etc. Https://www.hobbymill.eu vahur

Love Sweden! I go there every month at least once for work trips. Sandly dont speak any Swedish as English is more common now to sort stuff out. Small world. Vahur

Hi all Small update on shipping times to US. Package i sent 2nd of September arrived today so about 2 weeks with normal postal service. Vahur Hobbymill.EU

Hi all, Hope you are doing well. Summer is basically over and modelling season can start again . Little updates Different species: - we can offer also strips/sheets on woods not listed on web. Example we just made teak strips and sheet to one of our members here. Pm if you need something not listed on web and i will sort it out. Shipping: - We also ship to Australia. 1-2kg ~ 26 EUR 2-5kg ~ 51 EUR 5-10kg ~ 80 EUR With best regards, Vahur Hobbymill.EU

Looks really good. I also tried at first to get it symmetric but saw that its impossible. At least my strips provided in kit are with quite big tolerance thickness and width. Also im sure real ships are not so symmetric also . It looks really good. I had tough time to get that "cutout" done around gunports. Finally i bought miniature chisels that worked perfect. Next big headache is doing the hatches middle the wales. Its impossible to get them done after planking but i see that you also have left them open and do them afterwards. Would be so much easier to plank around them with hatches already glued to place . Really nice job. Keep us updated Vahur Hobbymill.eu

How is the planking going?

Hi I have sent you pm. Vahur
