    I'm going to be treating myself to some calipers and right-angle gauges for the holidays. I'd be interested in seeing any and all measuring devices you guys use. Whether it be for measuring thickness, depth, or angles. Thanks, 👍

    Thanks, that was my goal,...we'll see what happens.

    I went with some strips of basswood, filled in spaces in between and then sanded smooth for repair on the plank. Stern knee bevel filed,..then finished with sandpaper..and we're glued to the frame. Thats it for today....may look into the oars later tonight.

    A little repair update...I'm still gonna piddle with some sort of patch for the plank...I don't think the joint will hold for any length of time when mounted to the frame.
  27. aaronc
    They've been adopted, I wish them well.
  28. aaronc
    Not sure if the plank repair will hold,..may have to reinforce that a little somehow hidden best I can on the inside of the boat...We'll see what happens.

    Been a bit delayed in progress. Had a little lightning strike a few weeks back and was busy lining out repairs here around the house. No real damage but it takes up time meeting with the contractors. So my wife adopted a stray cat not long ago...I have no problem with that but she then turned into 4 more cats 😏 long story short they had some time in my shop unsupervised and did some chewing on my Dory. Finally had time this evening to begin repairs. I'll fill in and sand out seams next week and we'll hopefully be back on track. Good news is I did score a Dory book for fathers day,...it's a keeper 👍 BTW the lightning strike holes are 24 and 30 inches deep respectively.

    Not sure what that is...lobster trap? Or something else..but it looks great. I've noticed several making their own "extras" to accompany their Dory builds.

    I've got a few issues,...my stern knee and transom have some misalignment. I used wood glue instead of white so I'm going with it. While I was experimenting with weights to put on the bottom of the boat one of my blocks fell over and broke the stem out...glued back and ended up using a hammer for a weight. Frames are in the build board with just a spot of to keep glue on the end to keep them stable. I also started adding the bevel to the garboard plank. I'll wrap my sandpaper around a popsicle stick or file for the final edge. Despite the issues it's a fun build. I'm going to get the Dory book and get at least one more after this to work on, Thanks for following. -Aaron

    More to come later on next week...I've gotta go keep the lights on for a few days.

    Well fellas after a very unproductive winter on my fun projects I got started today on my little Dory. My wife and I have been dealing with aging parents on both ends all fall and winter and that's usually when my project time is the most abundant,...but anyway,..I promise I'm committed and here we go with today's progress. In the 5th picture I have attachments ( I know there is proper terminology but my plans are downstairs ) that have to be glued on both ends...didn't do that today, not sure how you guys keep everything centered. The last pic is a mock up, nothing glued yet except for the spacer pieces with a dot of glue to the plans. I enjoyed every bit of it 👍👊

    Rookie question....I read about all the miniature table saws and equipment for scratch building etc.....what is the main advantage of these size tools? I have full size equipment....are regular table saws simply overkill on power, is it space saving issues...or less waste with smaller kerf......or combination of various factors? Thanks -Aaron

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.
