Welding a broken bandsaw blade. Bad idea?
Pete38 replied to qwerty2008's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
I am in the maintenance department where I work and we have 2 of the bandsaws with the built in blade grinder/welder to make your own blades. Most of us never seem to get it right, usually takes 2 or 3 times to get one to hold. Finally convinced the management to start buying the blades in the correct size. SO MUCH BETTER.... Unless you are expert at brazing and grinding wait to get a new blade. With out the proper tools it is a pain. -
Heart wood seems to have a very nice reddish tint. If you look over in Rusty's (GREAT) triton cross section around about here http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/275-hms-triton-cross-section-by-rusty-148-completed/page-10 you can see how he used it in his build and what it looks like. And here http://modelshipworldforum.com/resources/materials_and_tools/Modelling_Woods.pdf is a good list of woods in the MSW database that is a good reference...looking forward to see how you choose.

scroll saw troubles
Pete38 replied to michaelpsutton2's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
It may be that the tension on the blades is too loose. or that you are feeding the material to fast for the blade type. Not sure if this will help, just some things I found that was giving me problems. -
Scroll saws and their use
Pete38 replied to AndrewNaylor's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Take a look at this previous thread on blades and places to buy them. The sites for blades has some good useful information on blades. http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/1028-scroll-saw-blades/

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.
