    The horseshoe shaped pieces are belaying pin rails. (the nails shown would be the belaying pins) They were positioned around the masts like the one shown in your last picture. They were used to anchor numerous sail handling lines. Sail halyards, Gaff halyard, topping lifts, etc.

    I have had the same fantastic customer service on my thickness sander. (I have the saw also) I was getting bearing noise and some play on the drum shaft. Called and talked to Jim and he helped diagnose the problem. Replacing the bad bearing or bearings was not an easy job so I was advised to send the sander back for him for repair. At that time this thickness sander was over15 years old and heavily used a lot. However, it has been so valuable in being able to create my own wood sizes for scratch building that I would have bought another if that's what it took. Within a very short time after it was sent, I was contacted and told that the repair was finished and the cost would only be the price of the return postage! I got it back and it runs just like new. Just Amazing, Indeed!

    Hey Dave, Your Lady Nelson is looking very good. You may experiment with a light touching of the waterline edge with very fine, good quality sand paper to see if that removes the sharp edge that you see. As others have stated, it has to be a very careful touch to not alter anything but the sharp point. I have the same condition on a larger model with the sprayed on waterline stripe. All I can hope for on mine is to reduce the sharp edge to a duller thick edge. On custom auto paint jobs we would sand the edges as fine as possible and put multiple clear coats on for a smooth finish. Different times, different media, different paint.....LOL

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.
