    The device is a open chock. It is used typically to guide mooring ropes. Usually in conjunction with a mooring cleat.

    Hello George, I just found your build thread. You are doing a great job on your work. I enjoy seeing the early expedition ships. I will be following along with great interest. Bill

    Hello ClipperFan I'm sure your right. In my nearsighted mind I only thought of tools powered by electricity. There were other ways to power large wood cutting machinery. Bill

    To have built a ship of this magnitude in less than ninety days is unbelievable. I would love to know the amount of manpower and the time schedule that was required for such an endeavor. This was completed with no powered tools or equipment. Bill

    Hello everyone, Am I correct in reading the letter from Cornelius McKay that the Staghound was built in less than ninety days? That’s amazing. Bill

    Hello No Idea, Thanks for the encouragement. After building the keel three times and getting it wrong, I realized that the problem was not my level of skill (which is not that great) or the size of the plans, but my eye sight. I could not understand how I kept getting the measurements wrong until I looked at my work from under a magnifying glass. Then it all became clear (literally). So I have ordered a magnifying headset. Thanks, Bill

    Hello Jolle and welcome aboard. I would love to see a report on the construction of your Bismarck. Bill

    Hello everyone, I've started working on the keel. I cut the notches by using the sliding table for my miniature table saw. I have also cut the scarf at the forward end of the keel. Bill

    Hello everyone, I'm finally getting started on the Washington. The plans from the NRG are very nice and easy to understand. This will be important as this will be my first POF. I printed out the monograph and made it into a notebook. The ship will be built from cherry. I may use something else for the deck planking. I have purchased my wood from Ocooch Hardwood and have received it. The wood is of very good quality. Ocooch was very good to work with. I talked with Ethan from Ocooch and he was very helpful in insuring I got very nice lumber. I have also started the framing jig. Bill
  32. B-Ram
    Wow. A POB will be very interesting. Bill

    Hi Ken, I am very happy to see you start on your Washington. I will be following along with great interest. I have a set of the Washington plans and have received the wood for the build. This will be my first POF build. Bill

    Beautiful work Mark.

    Very nice and very fast work on your Endurance. Bill

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.
