Very nicely done. This is one of the more interesting brigs and it looks like the kit follows the historical research pretty well.

Microlux Tilt Arbor Saw Problems
mtaylor replied to capnharv2's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Harvey, Your zero clearance is to tight. Loosen the insert screws and move it slighty into the blade from both directions then tighten it such that the blade is dead center in the slot with a tad bit clearance on each side. It's fiddly but that should help. -
Ah.... fun has started in earnest. Really!
-
Evan, I haven't said anything yet but I have been following along. That's an interesting and challenging idea to show frames. How did you figure out that there was distortion? Just curious on that.
-
Grant, Looks great... On the tighter bends, apply heat after soaking and while bending. A low wattage soldering iron or an old curling iron (smallest one you talk the Admiral out of or go buy one... and trade for it. ) will help a lot.
-
Piet, Just....wow! That is tiny. I think you might be right..time for the oil. She's looking fantastic.

Mike, Take look a these two links... http://littlemachineshop.com/Info/getting_started.php?Chapter=GS_MiniMill_01.htm&d=0|2|13 and http://littlemachineshop.com/Info/MiniMillUsersGuide.pdf And there's also: http://www.mini-lathe.com/Mini_mill/Main/mini-mill.htm Both sites have a lot of information that, while it doesn't apply specifically the Sherline, is very helpful in getting started.

Good to hear you have the lowering of the mast sorted out.... I'd hate to hear that you had to take a chainsaw to either the workshop or the boat.
-
Nice metal work, Grant.
-
Sherry, What Popeye said. I see there's some holystoning required so it's back to the deck for me.
-
Andy, Your rigging is looking very neat and precise. I'm in awe of your eye for detail.
-
Great chess... er.. Samson posts. And on top of that, you scratch built? Won't be long now and you'll be on the "darkside".

Mobbsie, I'm just cringing here from the sound of that injury. If this were a sports team, I think most of us would have been benched on the injured list lately.
-
Very wonderful, indeed. Not only are the carvings excellent, so is the painting.
-
Nice going, Mario. Planking looks really sharp.
-
Doomed, he's doomed I tell you!!!!!! Or at the very least, things will be very very quiet for awhile.
-
Sweet. That mouse is very effective. Don't sweat the ratlines.
-
Oooo... serious work going on there. And very impressive. We're not going to mention how close you are to doing ratlines.
-
Len, Great looking guns and carriages. I'll bet your happy not to have to all 74 guns.
-
Gunlocks? Capsquares? Incredible. Just incredible.
-
Nice work on the stairs. Those are a bit tricky to make and yours look great.
-
Alexey, It's obviously a laser, but a laser what? Interesting idea.
-
Interesting discussion... I would have thought it was the other way around.. The lower one would be the Great Cabin, used by the Captian when no admiral was on board. The upper would then be used by the Captain when there was an admiral on board. But I could be wrong.
-
Wow... lovely work.
