Bob Cleek Posted May 6, 2020 Share #5 Posted May 6, 2020 Spectacular work on your Notre Dame! We need a build log on that one, please! Like many, I'm embarrassed to "show my tools." (Of any kind. ) Because of the virus lock down and the resulting closure of all the storage rental places. I took pity on a friend that was stuck in the middle of a move and allowed him to stuff all his boxes and furniture in my shop. That was when I thought the "lock down" was only going to be for two or three weeks! My workshop isn't a pretty sight at the moment. stuglo and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtaylor Posted May 6, 2020 Share #6 Posted May 6, 2020 You're model is a thing of beauty. The detail is amazing. There is already a topic for our workshops here: Just trying to help so can see where others are generating sawdust.

Moxis Posted May 7, 2020 Share #8 Posted May 7, 2020 (edited) Hello Agamemnon9, could you explain how you make those wonderful carvings? And if you consider new tools, how about a small CNC router or 3D printer and a good 3D design program?

stuglo Posted May 7, 2020 Share #9 Posted May 7, 2020 I have bought quite a few power tools in recent years , most already mentioned, but I would suggest the my belt sander is used almost daily. When used c arefully, it saves a huge amount of time agamemnon9, mtaylor, Moxis and 2 others 5 Quote current build- Swan ,scratch on shelf,Rattlesnake, Alert semi scratch,Le Coureur,, Fubbs scratch completed: nostrum mare,victory(Corel), san felipe, sovereign of the seas, sicilian cargo boat ,royal yacht caroline, armed pinnace, charles morgan whaler, galilee boat, wappen von hamburg, la reale (Dusek), amerigo vespucci, oneida (semi scratch) diane, great harry-elizabethan galleon (semi scratch), agammemnon, hanna (scratch).19th cent. shipyard diorama (Constructo), picket boat, victory bow section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agamemnon9 Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share #10 Posted May 7, 2020 Hello Moxis .... Firstly I don't like 3D very much, I like to draw my plans by myself, I have a better connection, it's also emotional ... The only time I used a big printer in a specialized printing house it is for my ground level plan, for the rest I use photos in books or on the internet and also videos ..... For the carvings I use Dremel a lot .. To make columns I use my proxxon leathe ... Sometimes I make my own tools, for example when I want to sand the inside of my four leaf clover, I take a round wooden stick and I glue my paper sand on it . After having drawn a piece I always wonder how to do it, I look for a way, sometimes it work sometimes not but I always find a solution. Thank you Moxis ..have a nice day Moxis and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agamemnon9 Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share #11 Posted May 7, 2020 Hi Y.T. This pieces are made by sections , each section are made individualy...To make this I take a plain piece of wood of aproximatively 10 mm x 10 mm...after that I drill two holes and I put 3 leaves in each holes,,,now for carving the leaves in '' Y '' shape above ,I use dremel cutting disk...If you watch carefully no one are identical to other ...Oh I forgot to tell you that each piece was drawn on top. tank , I hope that this answered your question. mtaylor, Y.T. and Moab 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agamemnon9 Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share #12 Posted May 7, 2020 Hi Y.T. I want to know something about your mini disc sander... what is the RPM and what kind of sand paper you use i.e. 120 grain,220 etc... and what is this tool with the orange color handle,is it for curving wood while heating it ? This mini disc sander is a very good idea for my project...Tanks a lot🙂 mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
