    Can anyone shed some light regarding the oar locks as these are supposed to be made out of 26 gauge black wire. The material list only shows 24 and 28 gauge. Which size has been used on others longboat?
  2. Nirvana
    As I stayed Sunday with intention of heading home Monday morning, this allowed me and Floyd to work on our longboats. So, yes I made the oars for both of us. A set of for each.

    Toni, Somewhere in our forum there is a topic regarding "Bondo" with the recommendation to stay away from it. Elmer's Wood putty do work.

    Kurt and Dave, Many times when it comes using the optical visor of some kind we will experience a light issue. This to illuminate the work we are doing using the visors. For the mentioned visor there is something to consider and that is the led attachment. I have another type of visor that I am not happy with so, I thank you for this lead.

    Jerry, Great job! I am just waiting to get started with my Bluenose.

    Aydin, That decking is looking fantastic, I hope you used epoxy for laying the strips. Or are you to cover the deck with fiber-glass as well? I am concerned you will have issues with the water otherwise. It would be such a shame if you get problems. Have you done any interior water protection at all? I hope you have as you have put down the deck already. Everything needs to be protected, sadly to say but necessary since you are to RC her.

    As Cathead mentioned and I also learned, more fairing is needed. But otherwise looking good.

    Aydin, Applauses for a wonderful build. Looking so good.

    Question not related to the Bluenose but the dremel scroll saw. One local second hand store has the old one at 80 dollars plus tax. Should I pick it up? For the Bluenose build, I like it it very much. One step plus one and then it will be more than two..... ​

    Wow that was fast, Less than two hours - too bad I was engaged with vacuuming the house otherwise I would have had it! Congrats Pete!

    Looking Good Jerry!

    Mark, that model is not that small as I thought from the beginning.......

    Hi Zoran, Warm thank you for the update. That Trupa looks very nice, I would like to make that kit and use it on the table either for decoration or even maybe treating the wood and have fruits or something similar in it. I can see small grapes, dades and more being part of a fantastic model.
  14. Nirvana
    Okay, I must have lost my mind, either the modell is extremely large or the the tools are very small. But the outcome - well I wish I had some top words for this. Just fantastic!

    Julie, Don't use steam, use a hair dryer and the heat from it, Chuck is using that method so it should work for you too. However, with a steady pace you will be done sooner than you realise. Looking good.

    Julie, Decide where she is to stand, then open up the ceiling for the part of the master, or make her an Admiralty version, like up the first spreader.
  17. Nirvana
    Very nicely done, it's getting there.
  18. Nirvana
    Julie, That's a very nice "wrap" Beautiful done! I know it's way down the list but how are you planning of attacking the mast, this considering the two parts that has to be joined and tapered?
  19. Nirvana
    Mark, No problem on my side, got the news article. Lately on the Smithsonian TV channel there has been two very interesting programs. One is called Hell Below which being broadcasted Sunday evenings. The other one is called The Battle of The Atlantic. Well worth to watch.
  20. Nirvana
    Julie, that looks so good. A friend of mine didn't put in material between the bulkheads and got problem with the planking.
  21. Nirvana
    Amazing and extremely superb craftsmanship!
  22. Nirvana
    I wouldn't worry to much about rugginess and roughness, use a light touch with steelwool on top .... not to much and you will have a surface that will with time look amazing. This looks real good!

    This tool is still sold by WoodCraft, in store running at 260 dollars. At one time my local store had a demo of the machine with a "person representing ArborTech", unfortunate he broke three machines within half an hour. He couldn't believe it and claimed it had must happened during the shipping. The local store owner was extremely unhappy and canceled the remaining one and half hour of demo giving out vouchers for 50 dollar in store for tools for 8 people that had shown up. What happened afterwards I have no idea. Personally I bought hand chisels and got additional rebate.

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.
