    Jack, are there any instructions or tips on how to finish the boxwood carvings? I haven't turned up anything yet but maybe my search terms aren't right. These carvings certainly are beautiful! cheers- Scott

    It’s the ‘new’ blade that came with the saw, but I can’t vouch for its quality. I’ve ordered a set of Flying Dutchman blades (seems appropriate ;)) and will install one of those. Any suggestion on TPI and speed for 1/4” ply?

    Thanks Mike, thats great advice. Now if I can only keep the cut line from wandering! cheers- Scott

    Ok, going to start over. Put together a building board and practicing with new jigsaw in the meantime; practice pieces and trying rub-on poly on the cedar:

    You can put me down for a boxwood set, please. thanks! Scott

    ...and, mwelp, already messed up and sanded the keel end down to 1/8th”, DOH! Is this terrible enough that I should try replacing with a new part cut from the 1/4” cedar?

    Very good point, and a reminder to read the instructions carefully! Glued up and ready for softening the forward edges and tapering the head knee.

    Thanks Brian! I may take that route, seeing as a 4” table saw runs $350-500 (!). Heres the dry fit of unsanded pieces for the stem!

    And shop for a scroll saw and a mini table saw (Proxon type!). First step, print the plans!

    After reading the piracy concerns, I completely understand, Chuck. Looks like a nice scroll saw is in my near future! cheers- Scott

    Hi all, just got my first parts from Chuck/Syren, and excited to find this group build for a transition towards ‘all scratch’! cheers- Scott

    Hi Chuck, I just got the Chapter 1 &2 parts, some cedar for ripping planks, and want to try laser cutting my bulkheads- is it possible to get the outlines as Illustrator files? I can import the PDF into LightBurn but only get the first page. Will start my build log too, while I’m finishing up a 1:48 Surprise. cheers- Scott

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.
