Well the next essential step has been taken, well not quiet essential but nice step at least.
I have had other model disk sanders and either had issues around build or lack of dust extraction. This seems from the reviews fits the bill, and must say as a former model engineer extremely well made and smooth operation.
tomorrow it gets dusty.

Safety Glasses is a big item that shouldn't be overlooked, but it seems most of us do. I been lucky over the years but no one is ever going to be lucky all the time, without your eyes you can't build.

peewee reacted to Jason in Echo by Jason - cross-section - SMSNJ Group Build
Lesson learned Druxey! I have been around and worked with power tools since boyhood. This was a small lapse that I hope dispelled a complacency that I was unaware of.
Keel Rabbet:
Practice, practice, practice! This small, yet very important step was a little nerve wracking to undertake. I used a piece of keel wood from my first attempt at the scarf joint to practice on. I tried multiple techniques, and put multiple rabbets in each surface of the piece of wood. It was this practice that enabled me to get a good result that I am happy with.
I used a dockyard 2mm micro V gauge to produce the first cut on each rabbet. However, this tool just does not produce a very crisp V profile. Perhaps it was user error? So, in order to produce that crisp V profile, I first used a square section micro file to deepen the rabbet. Then to finish it, I used a new #11 exacto blade, with a corner of the cutting blade lodged in the bottom of the rabbet as a scraper. This technique did produce the crisp 90 degree profile needed for the rabbet.
Practice piece:
The real rabbet:
Unfortunately I do not have a picture of using the #11 blade as a scraper, and doubly unfortunate the picture that I do have of the finished product is not quality. Hopefully I will get a better one in a future post:

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 reacted to mikeaidanh in Sander drum
Further to Antony's post. I have used various sizes of sander drums mounted as shown in the following image for shaping plywood sections
The various size drums are matched to their own table which is square to the drum axis. The tables can be easily removed and replaced. The base of the unit is attached to a vacuum dust extractor.
I have not used this set up for model work...yet.
Mike.

peewee reacted to russ in Armed Virginia Sloop by GuntherMT - FINISHED - Model Shipways - scale 1:48
That looks pretty good.
I would suggest leaving it for a day or so and then come back and look at it with fresh eyes and see what you think. If you like it then, all well and fine. If not, well it is your call. You are the one who must be pleased with it.

peewee reacted to captainbob in Can i live without a BYRNES TABLE SAW
Tools, tools, tools, their only purpose is to help us reach our goals. Someone mentioned ‘artisans’ and I got me thinking about painting pictures and the tools required. Most artists paint with brushes and they will tell you which brush they think is best. But Leroy Niemen in his sports pictures only uses a pallet knife instead of a brush. And Jackson Pollock drizzled paint from a can from the top of a ladder. They used the tools they needed to reach their desired goal. If I never want to paint my boat I don’t need an air brush. If I want to make details out of etched brass I do need acids. So personally I try not to buy the tools I don’t need just because another modeler says he uses one all the time.
