In the US and Canada we have the Veritas Mini plane. After honing on a diamond plate and leather stropping one can remove eyelash sized shavings from wood. It is now my goto tool for shaping. https://www.leevalley.com/en-us/shop/tools/hand-tools/miniature-tools/planes/70138-veritas-miniature-block-plane?utm_campaign=USA|DSA|PageFeed|Tools|LowPriceTier&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw9Km3BhDjARIsAGUb4nzO6oqLcoTrGhlXS0AtUbBIZp7pgIb9CxAkPUx80xbkGFnGMiAyBiQaAnEtEALw_wcB&item=05P8220 I am very much enjoying your build log druxey, chris watton and mtaylor 3 Quote GregwebsiteAdmiralty Modelsmoderator Echo Cross-section buildAdmiralty Models Cross-section BuildFinished buildPegasus, 1776, cross-sectionCurrent buildSpeedwell, 1752
KarenM Posted September 18 Author #34 Posted September 18 I know about this plane. Mine is of the same quality as Veritas. mtaylor 1 Quote
KarenM Posted September 18 Author #35 Posted September 18 Our modelers make their own tools for modelers. Some very successful tools are put into production and sold to others. There are also branded tools, but they still have to be modified. For example, all Prokson machines are modified. We make stops and guides ourselves. CiscoH, mtaylor and scrubbyj427 3 Quote

KarenM Posted November 2 Author #40 Posted November 2 I got tired of making gun ports and decided to draw a little. I drew wreaths for gun ports. davyboy, Siggi52, dvm27 and 11 others 11 3 Quote

KarenM Posted November 28 Author #44 Posted November 28 The hardest part was attaching the first strip. I had to tear it off and glue it back on twice. Ondras71, mtaylor, scrubbyj427 and 10 others 7 6 Quote
druxey Posted November 28 #45 Posted November 28 It's worth getting the run of the wale correct, or the rest of the ship won't look right. Looks like you've nailed it! Hubac's Historian and davec 2 Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv
KarenM Posted November 28 Author #46 Posted November 28 In the evening I glue the strip, in the morning I break it off. And so on 2 times. I still couldn't get an even and correct line. mtaylor 1 Quote
