    I've bought a lot of tools and machines over the years, many on ebay. I've been snookered a few times, but overall I'm happy with what I've got. I tend to buy used tools and machines. If only a few pictures are shown in an ebay listing, I'll ask extensive questions to find out what the seller knows about the machine, but more importantly to find out if the seller seems trustworthy. So far, so good.

    I've successfully used veneer to "make" my own small pieces of plywood. Oak works well, and is readily available.

    I've done a lot of precise and not-so-precise woodwork over the years. My favorite now is Gorilla Type II wood glue--not the foaming urethane glue. However its not best for structural gluing, where the pieces are under constant tension. For anything under constant tension I used to use Weldwood plastic resin glue--it is a powder that you mix with water. But I believe the gub'mint declared it verboten, cause I haven't been able to find it.

    Wow. Just....... WOW! That would be so cool to be able to make squiggly things... I don't know what I'd do with the squiggly things, but it would be fun making them.

    The Cameron is one of the finest small D.P.s made. If you love fine machines, you'll love the Cameron. But if a machine is just something to get the job done then you'll probably do just fine with something cheaper.

    I love my 1965 Delta/Rockwell, Wood & Metal 14" bandsaw. But it's probably not for everybody.

    Hazardous dust can be a serious problem over the long term. I use a 3M 2-stage mask.

    Anyone here familiar with the Hammond, Ben Franklin Trim-O-Saw? These are printer's saws, to cut lead for printing, but woodworkers are buying them to cut very small pieces of wood safely. The wood clamps into a wonderfully sturdy assembly that you can slide through the spinning blade. It is set up like a table saw.

    Here are 2 screen shots of page 149 of ToolMaker's PDF.

    Wow. So beautiful On a different note--from the article: ".....Four years later, divers retrieved the chests and brought them to the surface. Inside were remarkable objects, the likes of which had never been seen before,..." Ummm... well, the articles were certainly seen when they were made, worn, and packed into the chests. 🙂

    My brother worked on designing the Nimitz in Newport News, Va. He hated that work and quit and became a carpenter and farmer. True story.

    What a beautiful door! I wonder what the wood is. English Oak maybe?

    Sad story. So much is lost when nations turn to war as the only solution.

    I love Mark Felton. Nice old ship. I hope she's saved.

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.
