    I'm doing pretty well. I've been away from the workbench because of family issues but I'm starting to get back to it now. I still need to build my skill before I tackle the Washington though.

    I'll sit in on this one. I have the plans and instructions too. It may be a couple of years before I get to it though.

    Fine looking gentleman. I love Charleston. Lots to see and do.

    Thanks Tony. Family issues have kept me out of the shop for quite a while now but I'm getting close to getting back to it.

    Tony, Outstanding work. You are helping me to get back to the shop and start working again.

    Nice lathe work. It looks like delicate work.

    What a great historical subject. I will watch this with great interest. Have you read To the Shores of Tripoli by A.B.C Whipple? It's a great read on the subject and goes into much detail about Presley O'Bannon and his exploits.

    Congratulations on a job well done. She looks great.

    That's a fine looking hull.

    I would like to hop aboard if you don't mind. These are beautiful boats.

    Mike, I know you are a ways away from building the whaleboats. The Morgan is on my bucket list and my goal (or dream) is to build framed whaleboats on a form. I plan to learn small boat building before I get to the Morgan. My point is that I just got a copy of The Greenwich Hospital Barge and methods of building open boats by David Antscherl from Seawatch Books. It looks to me that this book makes it very doable to build the whaleboats. I have not used the information to build a boat yet as I just got the book but it's well written and layer out with good illustrations. I hope to start a build log for a small boat based on the information in the book in the next couple of months.

    Bob, whatever you build is going to be a pleasure to see come together.

    Bruce, thanks for the great information. I have been storing my wood in the house for the most part but leaving the model in the garage. It would be easy enough to move it into the house when I'm not working on it. It's a small one right now. When I move to a bigger model I can move it inside for masting, rigging and fitting out. That tends to be cleaner work anyway.

    Does temperature fluxuation also cause problems? I have moved my building to the garage and depending on the time of the year it can be quite cold or quite warm. I would liked to have keeper the work in the house but the dust got to be too much.

    She's looking real nice Mike. I love all the busy details on whalers and the history. I'm real drawn to them.

    Thank you Hamilton, today was a good day for her. She was in a very happy mood for some reason. It really lifted my heart. I pray that she continues to have good days.

    Chris, Chuck's rope is the best you will find. His other stuff is top notch too. He's also a good guy who is willing to offer his time to us newbies.

    Albert, Your work is amazing. I have a question as somebody fairly new to model ship building. Is there a certain amount of natural ability at this level? I dream of reaching this skill level.
  22. alde
    I picked up a hard rubber adapter in the shop vac section of Lowes. It is stepped so you can cut it to fit the proper size. It works well.

    She's looking great Chris. I plan to get back to mine really soon. I don't know why we don't see more builds of this ship.
  24. alde
    Amazing work Chuck. You guys that can work at this level are a real inspiration. Thanks for being so willing to share your knowledge with us newbies.

    Looks great so far. I'm in till the end. This ship is on my short list.

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.
