After careful analysis of the data presented, it would appear that an alternative conclusion may also prove viable. Specifically, the glue joints in each case are stronger than the wood itself. It is suggested that further experimentation be conducted to determine the strength of the joints in the tension, rather than in the shear, mode. This might best be accomplished with the use of either an 'Instron' device or the application of opposing forces using two identical teams of draught horses Pending the publication of the results of the modified experimental design, I shall continue to get the 'brown stuff' off prior to gluing

Well, I have to say that I KNEW this was coming the moment I saw you cranking out microscopic parts on heavy duty machinery. Yes, your blocks are spectacular....but they had to GO somewhere. Now we see the result. You have my respect, sir. Beautifully done. So much so that it's enough to make a grown man cry looking at his own efforts. And thanks for including the gantry.

Thanks Bill. Probably see the same thing up on the gun ports. She tells you what to do. With an eye like that, I'll bet we're going to see some first rate work on both your current Phantom and future Confed.

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.
