Bluenose I - YuanQuin 1:72 - Loracs (in progress)

@Peter Voogt, thanks... greatly appreciated.
@Rob444, Greeting, I build it... pretty simple to make. Simple pieces of hard wood, a few holes and an aluminum bar glued on top (all from the hardware store). It is nice as a holder, as well as to taper strips lengthwise with a mini planer. The extra brass rods keep the boards aligned (mostly, better if you place a piece of wood the same width at bottom if you want more precision). The screws and t-bolts do the rest. Here the components...

I don't have much anything in terms of power tools (no room). However, for making small jigs, this Japanese saw guide (Z Life Saw or similar) is fantastic. Perfect straight and square cut all the time. I just cannot live without it anymore. Five years old and still cuts hardwood like butter.

Thanks so much looks like my next project~
 
The captain relocated my shipyard to a larger open space. After nearly 3 years, I lost my building dock at the dining table, which frankly is great! Taking few days to explore the new possibilities... I'm a happy camper and the captain is please too. Will be back to the build after a brief detour.
