    I'm not a modeler but I do a lot of small precise wood working. I've had a Byrnes saw and thickness sander for about 11 years now and was just going to order another saw when I read the news. I have most of the attachments / blades and have shop built a few others. It's a pretty wonderful piece of equipment but I wouldn't say it's for everyone. The tilt table in particular still gives me the creeps everytime I use it. I initially bought a Proxxon for evaluation but ended up sending it back. I still wrestle with getting one for the tilt arbor. It was a nice saw and got rave reviews from friends doing similar work. But I found I would need to discard the warranty and make a few mods to get a new saw to where I needed it. The Brynes saw was there right out of the box and it didn't cost significantly more than the Proxxon. It's not perfect but it fits my shop..The micro adjustable fence is solid and I made stops so I can dado easily. My wish list would be for a tilt arbor and a true sliding table.

    I went to the Model Machines site this morning to order some supplies and just saw the tragic news. Though not a modeler, I've been buying his equipment for the past 11 years and greatly appreciated the advice and guidance he gave me. Looking around here, there's a lot of work that he made possible. No matter how the family decides to go forward, he has left a legacy for us all.

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.
