I've not tried it yet, but it was suggested elsewhere that a potato can be used to hold parts and also double as a heatsink. I've used clay before, but the potato idea is interesting.

The Micromarks have two types available. One is a chuck like you'd find on a drill press. The other is for collets. Collets come in fixed sizes and run truer than then a chuck. The chuck takes an infinite amount of sizes. Both have their uses and on the MM, they are easily swapped. I can't answer about the Sherline or any other brand (except for the ones out of China's Central Machine) but I suspect they the same options.

Sudomekh, If you haven't done so, open a completed build log. You can show as much of your building, including all the many parts, as you want without taking over Nenad's build log.- 4,152 replies

Amazing how you figured out to hinge it in the middle and have the thread pull it together and capture the decking. I'm wondering how you glue things together. Or maybe let the thread hold it together?

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.
