    I have the opportunity to purchase the Microlux 7 X 16 mini-lathe with several accessories at a good price. How does this compare? Walt

    Ben, thanks for the reply. Walt

    Guys, I am a newcomer to the use of table saws, though I do have the Byrnes saw. How is the saw sled used? What does it add to the basic saw? I have seen many references to using a table saw to cut mortices, tenons, and even rabbets. Is there a reference to or tutorial of these uses? Walt Haynes

    Thanks for the replies. Will check them out. Walt

    What is the best spindle sander for ship modelling? I'm talking bout a dedicate sander, not a set-up for a driil press or mototool. Thanks, Walt Haynes

    Thanks for the replies. If a scroll saw is used for cutting frames from 1/4 in. stock, what would be the preferred blade?
  7. whaynes
    I have limited space to work in, so a full-sized scroll saw on a stand is not going to work. Is there a good quality small scroll saw that is suitable, mostly for cutting out frames and other small parts? Proxxon, MicroLux? Thanks, Walt Haynes

    Yes, thanks . Walt

    Chuck, is there a rigging plan or diagram showing how the anchor and buoy are rigged? I'm somewhat confused by the pictures. Walt Haynes

    Thanks, it would really be helpful. Walt

    Chuck, your rigging, particularly the way you secure blocks to spars and rigging, is so neat and without the messy knots one sees on other models. Could you produce a brief tutorial for those of us who are "out in the boondocks" with no local modelers' club to share techniques? Any help would be much appreciated. Walt Haynes Walterboro, SC

    Chuck, how did you make those perfect square holes in the bowsprit? It looks fantastic!! Walt

    Thanks, MIke

    Anybody used/familiar with this saw?

    I'm making Cheerful, 1/48th scale. Walt

    What thread is best/recommended for serving? Walt Haynes

    Thanks for the quick responses. All I need. walt

    I have seen this referenced as applied to forming eight-sided poles in configuring masts and spars. Can someone explain this for me? Walt Haynes
  19. whaynes
    Thanks, heading there tomorrow. Walt

    Hi, Guys. I'm new to this forum, but have been following most of the Cheerful builds. I've just acquired Chuck's "pre-kit" and ordered lumber from Crown Timberyard. I started with the Sultana kit then moved on to Corel's Unicorn [wasn't real satisfied with results-gave it away] and lastly the old Bluejacket plank on frame America. Looking forward to this challenge. Anyway, a couple of questions, if I may. What is "wipe-on Poly"? and where is a good source for bulk small drill bits? Looks like I may need a few. Thanks for the help. Walt Haynes

    Thanks, the mill seems to be a better option for not much more of an investment. Walt
  22. whaynes
    Is there an advantage to the micro mill compared to the drill press with compound table? I'm trying to decide which way to go. Thanks, Walt Haynes

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.
