    A steady feed is important also. Stopping can cause burns.

    The top one would be a goal for me..

  16. Gregory started following Wood discussion...Where to use it? Where to get it? What types are best? How to Finish it?
  17. Gregory
    I’m at a loss by what you mean by “thick” . What are the dimensions of the stock, and what do you want to end up with?
  18. Gregory
    I recall the variance on the Byrnes has been discussed before. Something like .005 at the back of the blade, so not easy to measure.

    I just cut a 1/16 strip from a 1/4 sheet of cherry with no burning. This is with a Proxxon FET and a Malco .03 blade 3" 90t. ( CT303012000) It's a fairly used blade, but mostly for basswood strips. I noticed this piece of cherry was well seasoned and not particularly aromatic as it can sometimes be. I suspect if it has more sap it might have more of a tendency to scorch. I don't know if I do everything properly, but it works for me. I try to keep pressure against the fence right in front of the blade and avoid putting pressure on the blade itself. I keep the blade fully elevated for maximum tooth contact with the wood. I have had burning/scorching problems, but mostly with harder woods like mahogany and walnut, and older blades.

    Chuck, I have always felt your Cheerful rig reflected what would have been actual practice for functionality and proportion. I don’t think anyone can go wrong by using it for reference. Is that Roger’s model mast way too tall, or is that just a perspective thing?
  27. Gregory
    Glad I made the cut-off! Joe, in his usual great way shipped my order today.. I know the wood will be as great as the service.
  28. Gregory
    I would really enjoy seeing those. For some reason, the pics of Cheerful in the gallery suffered from poor lighting. Perhaps you could post yours in the Gallery?
  29. Gregory
    Falkonet is out of Russia, so very hard to source right now. You might check on eBay from time to time..

    A detail I like about the Thorsminde artifact is that the eyebolts are countersunk. we don’t see them modeled like that very often.
  31. Gregory
    This is a contemporary(1775) drawing that has showed up in several discussions. An artefact from Thorsminde. This is a 3D reconstruction of the artifact carriage.
  32. Gregory
    That certainly helps, but “steps” have been mentioned a couple of times. Is there another term that applies?
  33. Gregory
    To follow along, I could use some labels. ”steps, brackets”?

    Whipping is just the method of dressing the end of a rope. How to Tie a Common Whipping Knot? Tips, Uses & Video Steps Modeling it may not always be worth the effort depending on the scale you are working and the size of the rope.
  35. Gregory
    I put CA (super glue) on the ends of rope. After it cures, I cut it at an angle with scalpel or clippers to create a point for threading through blocks or other holes.

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.
