That looks an excellent saw frame you made there, Michael. By the way, I think every Auto Electrician in Sydney owns a Myford 7. I walked into one workshop to do a survey and saw a cheap Chinese lathe on the bench. I commented to the owner that he must be the only Auto Elec. in Sydeny without a Myford 7 and he said, "I took the Myford home to my workshop there - I'm not going to let these idiots ruin it." John

Jose, You are quite cirrect in assuming that the staysails have a sheet to each side. I f you go the Google Books and have a look at "The Young Sea Officer's Sheet Anchor" - http://books.google.com.au/books?id=HmJJAAAAYAAJ&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false The illustrations to pages 61 and 62 show this clearly.

There'd be plenty of problems with our quarantine people if I tried to bring that into Australia - our quarantine regulations are very strict! John

Both are looking really first class, Popeye. Have you thought of cutting wood to shape for the skis and then soaking and bending to the correct profile? John

Measuring Stick (for deck beams)
Jim Lad replied to Maury S's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
That looks a good (and simple) idea. I take it the wooden parts are a tight push fit in the tube? John -
Just about there, Popeye. Can't wait to see the completed skis! John

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.
