lol Andy you are such a tease, i can fit the Victory in that position between the door and window, in the diorama set up, there will be no 1/64 Victory, unless Chris Watton gives me the Amati completed one, and i will trash mine, my other builds like the Amerigo Vesspucci (hull) only and my 1/24 Section (when started) will perhaps go into my shipyard all the best

why do you set a zero tolerance on the blade, is it to help feed the stock wood through and stop it sagging, or help avoid any blade movement?
