You're right, Ed! I was busy recently: I redid the electrical system in my lab and in the meantime I have built a small grading; You can see it here:

Good work on the thickness sander!  One of the most important and useful tools for the ship model builder.

Nice work!

[mtaylor]

Lovely work, Giampiero.   And thanks for pictures on the rudder coat.   The various plans I have don't show this part.

if it can help you, Mark....

[dvm27]

Wonderful Giampiero. You rarely see the rudder coat included on models. I suspect that fitting and nailing it over the tiller opening is not easy!

[dgbot]

Outstanding work.  Your metal work and joinery are terrific.
