So, it is a water color painting heightened with white gouache. Enjoy your lucky find, Michael!

The way to tell a print from an original is to put a magnifying glass over it. If you see a pattern of tiny colored dots, it's a print. If not - congratulations!

It appears that M & H Valve and Fittings was named as such in 1926 and was sold to Walworth Valve in 1955: https://www.mh-valve.com/about-us/company-history/ It seems the name was then shortened to M & H Valve. Therefore the notebook cannot be newer than 1955 or thereabouts. This was 66 years ago. How long does copyright remain with the author if is not renewed?

It is quite bizarre! -
Thanks for the latest photos for those of us (north of the border) who won't be able to make it to the show on October 2. It would have been a treat to see your progress up close and in actuality. I'm sure those who will be there will be very impressed.

Welcome aboard, Doug. Enjoy the wooden world!

I'm sure that you can adjust so that both sides are the same. A little careful sanding on the 'tall' side.... Also, any glue blobs can also be taken care of. Next gluing job, remove squeeze-out with a damp brush before it dries. Much less work!

It certainly was usual to store spare spars (often topmasts) on the skid beams in the waist as seen in your photographs, so these were most likely contemporary with the models themselves. Other contemporary models show at least one boat stowed on the spare spars, but exactly how they were secured I'm unsure.

Yes, these wrecks are being explored and recorded each summer. I don't know whether work has been interrupted by covid or not.

That's it, Ben! One small tip: use a finer line for marking out; excessive line thickness can throw things off.

Fein? Pricy, but nice! -
soldering brass cannons
druxey replied to rich-mar's topic in Metal Work, Soldering and Metal Fittings
Are you trying to solder on trunnions (the pegs that are on either side of a cannon)? It may be far easier to drill a hole through the body of the cannon, insert a suitable length of rod and solder this into the hole, or simply use epoxy glue. It will be nearly impossible to solder two separate pieces exactly in line on either side of the cannon. -
Mangiamo! Welcome to MSW, Giacomo.

I'm glad that you have 'got' the difference! If you get 95% rubbing alcohol there's no need to wait for wood to dry out. If you are using 70%, there's nothing wrong with that except that you need to leave the wood to dry thoroughly before re-gluing the pieces.

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.
