where is X-Y Table thread
captainbob replied to captainbob's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Thanks fellows. I knew someone would know. Bob -
A while ago there was a thread about X-Y tables. I tried to search for it but the search program did not recognize X-Y. It said one of the words was less than three letters. Any way does anyone remember the thread and can direct me to it? Bob

It is also a pole that stands in the bow of a boat upon which a flag called a jack flag flies. They were used a lot on paddle wheel river boats to help with the steering. Bob

David, Let’s look at what we as ship modelers need to know. Basically we work in wood, but also glue, paint, metal, cloth, thread and string, some plastic, some paper and for R/C you need to know electric and control systems. That sounds like a jack of all trades to me. Bob

As we learn from each other, do we become experts or jack of all trades? The difference is that the expert learns more and more about less and less until he knows everything about nothing. On the other hand the jack of all trades learns less and less about more and more until he knows nothing about everything. Ah, well, just a thought. 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.
