Was able to do a small amount this moring after work. Started cutting the smaller beams for the lower deck, I had already sized the stock with my thickness planer to the proper width and height. Use a quick set up to get all 10 pieces correct lenght with no tear out coming out of the saw.\ Slowly but surely getting there

Thank you for all the likes.... Just a little more progress on the lower deck... A couple of bottom shots I said earlier that I was going to build the decks on the model, but just for some change and learning new ways to challenge myself, the next deck I will be building as a seperate unit off the model then installing it. Just to see if i can

Finally got back to the shop for a little bit of work on the lower deck. Decided to notch all the way through the beam for these parts instead of a half lap. To big of a chance for me to break them off Started by using a hacksaw blade to notch them to almost full depth Then clamped a backing board so to limit any tear out while using a small chisel to remove most of the material Then used a file to make any final adjustment for the fit Glued and installed clamps, waiting for to dry to start other side Not much by slowly getting there.

I have started on the next section of these beams. I have forgotten what they are called? Started with some rough stock and resized it down with my Byrnes saw and Drum sander Layed out the patten with some 3M contact spray. (Sprayed only the paper patten and let dry for about 45 seconds to a minute) this way it will come off with out to much trouble with little or no residue then sawed them out with my scroll saw and sanded to the lines. Now dry fitting them and marking for my cut joints

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.
