Where is the Woodcarving thread?

Thank you Mark for your help. Kostas -
I hadn't logged in for a few months and now I can no longer find the Woodcarving thread. Has it been removed? Thanks Kostas

Nice Carving Tools/ Wood Chisels
KARAVOKIRIS replied to Cap'n Rat Fink's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
According to recommendations posted in carving forums (e.g. The Carving Path Forum) two of the best U.S. carving tool makers are: 1. http://www.capeforge.com/ 2. http://www.drakeknives.com/ Kostas -

Very nice result Alistair. If you are intending to use a stern lantern, it's more convenient to drill the hole for the lantern's crank before finishing the stern casting. The figures in the middle are, according to NMM plans, 4 cherubs playing flute and in middle of them is the lantern's crank hole. (In the kit's plans there are only 2 cherubs). Kostas

I'm using GRS QC half round gravers (0.2 & 0.4 mm). They are useful for carving very thin grooves e.g. pilaster reeds. Kostas

Mitsuaki, I'm glad you decided to post your build log again. I'll follow it with great interest. Kostas

Janos I thank you once more for your help. I'm using too rotary diamond bits (ball head, cone head & cylindrical) with my Proxxon IB/E and a flexishaft and several Pfeil gauges. Your photos will help me to add some homemade hand tools to my collection. I hope that a combinated use of the above and of some jeweller's needle files will cover my needs. Thanks Kostas

I'm trying to make some relief woodcarving for a model at 1:64 scale. For this scale even the smallest Dockyard gouges (1.5 mm) are rather large. The only really small gouge I have found is a 0.5 mm Pfeil V-gouge. As I remember, in MSW 1.0 had been posted photos of homemade micro woodcarving gouges made from hypodermic needles etc. Has anybody such photos ? Thanks, Kostas

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.
