    Full size rope, synthetic or otherwise, tends to unravel when cut. I experimented with baking my rope, and I feel it added a stiffness I don't care for. I may not have got the formula just right.

    How small? This 60wt thread is about the smallest I've found that's still easy to work with.

    Do you have any pear? If not, I could experiment with some of my scrap and see how it looks? Cherry might also be a good candidate.

    Maybe a place like this. Weavers's Leather Supply I don't see anything particularly expensive though. Keeping it sharp may just be an issue of maintenance. If you want to spend more, you could check out a surgical supply place. What do you mean by ' Micro ' ? A good micro awl could be a sewing machine needle fixed in a wood handle. It would probably stay sharp for a long time, while being cheap and easy to replace.

    Thanks

    Curious about this. Did you order via the Malco web site? Home - Malco Saw Company How did Martindale enter the picture?

    I'm really liking the look of the muslin sails. I will have to try that.

    Good info from @wefalck. Laser is not your best option, if at all, for detailed carving.
  30. Gregory
    I think a laser would be great for your miniature work. Browse through my Rattlesnake and Resolution builds to see how I have put a laser to use. To show you can make some fairly small precision parts, here is a link that shows how I made some fiddle blocks. I would highly recommend LIghtBurn for driving the laser. I have an older 20W Xtool that serves me well but If I were buying today I would go with the xTool S1 20W. Ventilation is a primary concern and with the Xtool all you need is a vent hose to get the smoke and fumes outside. Let me know if you have other questions you think I might answer.

    How does it deal with two or more objects touching each other? If you have to separate them, you might as well go ahead and count them.😁
  32. Gregory
    While interesting, you are showing The Process of Making Wire Ropes. It is not actually a Ropewalk. I'm not sure if it has a specific name other than a wire rope making machine/apparatus. I apologize for the pedantry.
  33. Gregory
    If they are requiring the ID, I don't know how you can get around that. However, the foremast provided in the kit would have been a wood dowel that you would refine based on the plans, so it should be fairly easy to aquire one from another source such as Amazon or a hobby shop.

    Very nice work!

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.
