Hello All! Trying to pick your brains here... Looking for opinions on Unimat vs. Sherline, why your pick, and would you go lathe only or with mill? Your input wanted... I'd like something not too complicated, as it will be my initial plunge to this type of tool, but I wouldn't want to waste money in something that I may get as a package, as opposed to buying afterwards separately (and more expensive probably). Would like to be able to input the measurement electronically, for precision sakes. Would this be a good package to start? https://www.ebay.com/itm/SHERLINE-4410-C-3-5-X-17-LATHE-METRIC-the-C-Package-INCH-SEE-PN-4400C/153087814518?hash=item23a4beab76:g:5noAAOSw1qtbPkxD In the meantime, will continue to read on both items... thanks, as always, for your help!

Hello, many persons are interested in learning machining skills but don't have an instructor available. Here's an exceptionally attractive instructional video about turning brass to make a tool. The machinist is a clockmaker and has a Youtube channel called Clickspring. I think you will find his videos interesting, useful, and visually stunning.

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.
