Can i live without a BYRNES TABLE SAW
captainbob replied to shihawk's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
I agree a mill is better but doesn't a cut off blade on the Dremel cause a sideways force? Bob -
What a wonderful little boat and what a skilled builder. Congratulations, she's beautiful. Bob

I have to admit I have no idea where you are going with this boat, but it sure is fun watching. Bob

First loosen the screws with the knobs on top. Adjust the plate on the bottom to the width of strip you want. Place cutter on sheet with edge of strip pressed against plate. Slide cutter along sheet. Bob

Can i live without a BYRNES TABLE SAW
captainbob replied to shihawk's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
I have built several with the only power tool being a scroll saw. Bob -
Yes, it is used for cutting strips of wood from a sheet. The idea is good but this tool is not that accurate so I made my own. I made it longer to ride against the sheet better and I mounted the blade more securely so that it did not wobble in the holder. I use mine all the time for soft wood like poplar. I have cut strips as thin as .015 inch. Bob

Can i live without a BYRNES TABLE SAW
captainbob replied to shihawk's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Every builder needs to find out what tools he needs and not all builders have the same tools. I have a band saw for the heave and straight cuts and a scroll saw for the curves. I got rid of my table saw because I was not using it. Bob -
Can i live without a BYRNES TABLE SAW
captainbob replied to shihawk's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
I have a 9” Ryobi band saw. It has guide rollers both above and below the table, three each. I think it’s great. In Manufacturing we were always told Buy a machine that will do 25% more than you think you need and you will find that within a year you will use it all. Bob -
Thanks for all the nice remarks. I'm sorry but the Lettie is larger than the table she sits on so there is no room for a case. She's a present for the admiral and placed where the admiral wanted. But she is in front of a mirror so people can see the other side. Bob

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.
