    peewee got a reaction from justsayrow in Section Deck Between Gun Bays by peewee - Panart - 1:23   
    Hi All,
     
    Well I thought I should start a post and fully join in.  Whilst looking into the scratch build section options i thought i would do the Panart deck section.  It will give me something to do and look at 
     
    Just the frame completed with 2 mm dowels on the key joints


     
     
    not up to some levels but a start

    peewee got a reaction from WackoWolf in starter lathe --   
    Hi Ian B
     
    On the Unimat question, they have nothing in commonm with the original unimats which were great little machines.  Personally they are OK but only OK once you get around all the time spent of changing from one function to another.
     
    But it comes down to the question of what are you going to use it for and at what size.  As an example I have just sold my very large modern lathe/Mill with DRO's etc as I move away from model engineering and into ships again.  I will be using my 50 year old faircut junior http://www.modelenginemaker.com/index.php? which is more than sufficient and big enough.  more importantly its solid which means less vibration etc when cutting.
     
    just my personal thoughts
