    On sale at Lidl for our UK members on Monday. http://www.lidl.co.uk/cps/rde/SID-A5355953-89ED6298/www_lidl_uk/hs.xsl/our-offers-2491.htm?action=showDetail&id=12779&ar=6

    We have one of these and it's really quite quiet. http://www.aeg.co.uk/Products/Cleaning/Cylinder_Cleaners/UltraOne/AUO8840UK

    Files are normally meant for harder materials than wood so shouldn't loose their edge very quickly. Have you though of trying needle rasps, I bought some of these: http://www.rutlands.co.uk/sp+cabinet-makers-needle-rasp-set-of-6+DK7915?tyah=y

    I thought dry brushing (weathering in particular) was normally done with those blocks of solid colour from the likes of Tamiya? http://www.tamiya.com/english/products/87080weathering/ Any advantage in using wet paint?

    It's not just Tung oil either. When oil finishes were more popular many years ago woodworkers would keep their used rags in tins with tight fitting lids.

    Someone on here has a very useful looking jig used with a drum sander held in a drill press. Seems like a great idea as a budget thicknesser.
  8. Q A's Revenge
    Looks really well made. Thanks for posting the pictures. I love the proper "flick" switch on the side!
  9. Q A's Revenge
    Have a look, bound to be something suitable! http://www.shop4glue.com/applicators-nozzles-bottles-sprays-and-caps-38-c.asp
  10. Q A's Revenge
    I have a couple of these now. Only issue is that they are probably a bit noisier than premium models?
  11. Q A's Revenge
    Can't help but great work so far Michael!

    Martin, Info on how the screwless vice works is near the top of this page: http://www.arceurotrade.co.uk/Catalogue/Workholding/Machine-Vices You need cap head socket screws for the clamps, they are tightened with an Allen key. Modeler12, Glad you're enjoying your mill. It would be my choice if I needed one! Vic.
  13. Q A's Revenge
    You may need some of these Martin. http://www.littlemachineshop.com/products/product_view.php?ProductID=2675&category=

    As Frank said, Fiskars are very good.
  15. Q A's Revenge
    Nice job Bill, thanks for posting!
  16. Q A's Revenge
    Nice review, should be very useful for folks contemplating buying this lathe. Looks like a very nice machine. Getting marks on work from chuck jaws is a common enough problem for folks. Two immediate remedies spring to mind, either place suitable packing between the jaws and the work. I've used pieces of aluminium drinks cans and card to good effect. Or if funds allow consider using a collet chuck, these are much kinder to the work piece!

    Try this. http://www.amazon.de/Scotch-Klebeband-1Rolle-unsichtbares-mattes/dp/B000KJOGI8/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1394037053&sr=8-4&keywords=Scotch+magic+tape
  18. Q A's Revenge
    Yes, good idea on the router Marc.
  19. Q A's Revenge
    I saw one of these today and started to wonder ... http://www.screwfix.com/p/energer-enb522tcb-450w-tile-cutter-240v/61123 Would it make a suitable model makers saw bench if you fitted one of these in place of the diamond blade? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-TCT-SAW-BLADES-WOOD-TIMBER-CUTTING-CIRCULAR-SAW-BLADES-FOR-110MM-TO-350MM-/331118870654 Might need an adaptor washer for the blade but it should work shouldn't it? Speed is about right and so is the price, about £35!
  20. Q A's Revenge
    Thanks Hexnut. I did look to see if I could still get the 23ml in the UK but no luck. Update. Just found some online but no difference in the per ml price :-(
  21. Q A's Revenge
    Popped in to get a couple of jars of paint today and something didn't seem quite right ... Old jar on the left, new on the right. Ok, I guess it has been a while since I bought any, was 23ml now 10ml. So when did Tamiya downsize their jars of paint? Lol :-)
  22. Q A's Revenge
    As drill chucks have been mentioned can I just say that they should only be used for drilling. They are not designed to take sideways loads as in the use of milling cutters. Drill chucks are generally not as accurate as collets either.
  23. Q A's Revenge
    If you intend to join lots of boards together on a regular basis then it's probably a handy piece of equipment to have. Personally I think a thicknesser would be more useful. For occasional edge joining a power plane would be a cheaper option.
  24. Q A's Revenge
    You could try Camelia oil, bound to be some in your neck of the woods I would have thought Tyrnac.

    The biggest problem importing stuff from the US these days is the cost of shipping. It used to be reasonable but even suppliers in the US have complained to me that it's damaging their sales.

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.
