@ChrisLBren, Hi and I see you have done your homework. However, if you look at this link you will find a Rikon 1/2Hp for the same price as Jet. I tried out the Rikon 1/2 hp at a Woodcraft store and was impressed by it, even though I didn't buy it.

Random Generator by Nirvana - UGear - No scale
Nirvana posted a topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
A delayed birthday gift to the love of my life. Her birthday was in February. This is a non-glue kit from Ugear and it's the second I built. I truly enjoy the snap together. The unit got a coat of Wipe-on-poly. -
Phil, I have just read through your five-page posting. And I certainly learned a lot. And I am going to use the idea going from a square to create my mast. The old dowels are not straight anyway. Many thanks for the tips and ideas of yours as I will use them when going back to my 40 year old Constructo 1851 America (which is still not done)🤔.

Paint for representing galvanized metal
Nirvana replied to Canute's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
A late reply to this topic, but I have found Vallejo carrying all sorts of various "metal" paint. Got myself a "exhaust manifold" paint from them recently. A quick search didn't yield in any galvanised steel paint. -
Bend cast metal parts
Nirvana replied to bogeygolpher's topic in Metal Work, Soldering and Metal Fittings
I have a similar unit putting out 1500 watts. And yes it will melt plastic, char wood if not being careful. Make metal extremely hot to touch afterwards after heating, learned by lesson! -

I couldn't find where the leakage were. I can imagine due to the somewhat rough water the hatches were not sealing properly and I haven't changed the petroleum vaseline for the rudderstock since 2012. Reason I am re-doing the deck is that many of the planks didn't adhere to the subdeck, resulting with water getting under and lifting the planks. I did find out on various wood sites that varnishing the subdeck prior epoxying down the planks will result with a better sticking. This is something I am make a trial of before planking the deck again. The deck is now clean, have only a few areas there to touch up. Got new sails as well.

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.
