That may be Odin, Sjors. I'm sure Mark will explain. No matter ---- it's good to see blade to wood once again!

Good luck on the sail. Glad to see you found a way to stimulate the economy in the 'fiber arts' store. And best wishes on the house situation!

That's just plain basswood Sjors, nothing on it and not sanded yet. The batch that came with the Confederacy kit is much nicer then what came with Syren from the standpoint of sizing but the edges still need to be trued up and the color is all over the place. It's also fairly soft. If I were buying wood to replace it for hull planking I'd go for boxwood.

Ponce wheels are available from a place like Micro Mark. They come in various tooth/inch sizes. If you intend to use the tape there is an excellent tutorial right here on MSW by Gene Bodnar under framing and planking..... Copper Sheathing a Hull.

Very nice progress my friend. Don't go deaf with the stereo that loud. Enjoy your speed skating. You've even got us here rooting for the orange. Of course, there ARE other winter sports in Sochi ! Like Olympic Ratline Tying.

Mini Drill Press - moved by moderator
augie replied to HonuJaye's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
And it's pretty darned accurate. The belt driven model is actually just as good mechanically but it's only 3 speed and I dislike changing belts. -

I've had good luck for many years with this Microlux: http://www.micromark.com/microlux-benchtop-variable-speed-mini-hobby-drill-press,8283.html They make a slightly less expensive model that is 3 speed, belt drive (about $200). -

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.
