    Nice accurate work on such small carriages!! Thanks for sharing your tip on the Dremel burr for the curved cutouts.

    That steel anvil must have been a 20lb stress test on those wonderfully crafted joints!!! Glad the Admiralty is satisfied. We appreciate you sharing in detail how you used the jig to locate and cut the mortise joints and fit the beams in!!

    Everything looks clean and the joints/seams are fantastic! That pear wood is able to showcase your careful attention to detail and precise milling/construction. I hope to be able to emulate some of the techniques and details when I get to the interior!! Thanks for sharing.

    You are nailing it!! Literally and figuratively! Now, whether to "nail" the frames?? Very few people will ever notice if you do/don't. I think planking and deck treenails are much more visible and create texture. That said, bolts were definitely there and necessary for construction. You're the builder and supervisor. I won't be bolting frames on "La Salamandre", as the space on my build is so narrow, they would be near impossible to see. Keep updating us on your beautiful and precise build.

    Amazing how a bunch of "sticks" can become such a wonderful work of art! Looking good and thanks for sharing!

    Awesome work!! That's going to be superb. When you put a finish on it, those joints you labored over will just POP!! Thanks for sharing!
  25. BradNSW
    Looks like a "SOLID", well laid out and very accurate bed from which the skeleton will rise!! Look forward to seeing this happen. Thanks for sharing for the rest of us to learn from!!

    Chris, I'm very excited to discover your build log! I immediately clicked to "follow"!! You are a few steps ahead of me on my current build and I am learning a lot from your pictures and posts. Thanks for sharing your wonderful and very accurate work. It is inspiring and will help me immensely!!! Keep on posting the great photos and discussion!

    Looking awesome! Very precise joints!!!
  30. BradNSW
    Look forward to seeing the results of the steps you outlined above. I'm sure you will nail it...slow and steady! The joints in your previous post look nice and tight. Can't wait to see them with your finishing treatment. That should really make the wood grain pop and accentuate that great joinery!
  31. BradNSW
    Those frames look great! The chocks are perfect and will add much to each frame!!! Thanks for sharing. Please keep us updated on your progress and the techniques you use to get these wonderful results!!
  32. BradNSW
    Excellent progress. We look forward to watching these joints come together, step by careful step. IMO, they can make or break a model. You are several months ahead of my latest project. The mobile shipyard is still working on frames. We did have a friend deliver a package of pearwood stock to our current campground, for the keel and rising wood. So, workers here are already planning the steps and process for laying the keel and stem/stern pieces. I will continue to follow closely to glean what I can from your techniques and experience! Thanks for the great pictures and process descriptions!

    She's going to be over a yard long! Looking great. Can't wait to see it after you get it all glued up! Thanks for sharing!!
  34. BradNSW
    I just discovered your excellent build log! I'm excited because you are a few weeks ahead of my build of the bomb ketch Salamandre. This means I can see how you complete the steps I am about to start!! Your frames look superb (I'm 75% through frame construction). I wait with anticipation to watch you mill and construct the keel. Thanks for posting such detailed pictures and descriptions!
  35. BradNSW
    Well done!! Your work is so crisp and precise. An inspiration to us all. Regarding the last photo...I'm sure it was nice to not have to go to the "head" of the ship! Especially in heavy seas. Rank had its Privileges!!

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.
