Thanks for the verbal as well as visual. Multi-instruction works well for my brain and my visual, hands-on practice it again learning style. Am I correct in that the majority of SoS is wood crafting and very much less on rigging? PT-2

We are not a forum for wood crafting or rigging!
Our forum is about ship modeling and everything related to the "SHIPS" , so wood crafting and also rigging and everything else......

Super. Toll! Thanks.
 
There is a lot of info out in this forums to be found and read or viewed.

I often just look at the home page general topics to see what has been added.

You can also do a search by subject, such as rigging or more specific like Ratlines, to see what info is here to be viewed.

No disrespect intended. I was just commenting upon the excellent modeling that so often I see in a group build and a lot on the framing and other phases related to wood. I have seen that YouTube has some posts upon topic questions that may come to my mind for further addition to what I know and don't know but will need to know. Certainly the SoS fourms do the same thing when the string of topic is found. SoS modelers are well above my skill level so I enjoy seeing what is attainable with time, experirence, tools, and knowledge to be pulled "out of the tool box" when needed.
 
Hello all
I pulled this out from under my bench today, I bought it about 2 years ago boxed and never been used. (a rare item for the UK). I have no idea how old it is I think they stopped making them about 30 years ago. It also has a rare additonal fence I can't make my mind up if I should keep it, use it or sell it. I have 3 other Dremels and a Proxxon Fet 27070 that I use most of the time, I would probably be gutted if I sold it but can't bring myself to use it. Any suggestions as to what to do. Does any body on this site use a Dremel?
Kind regards
Paul

Arrived my christmas present, the Proxxon FF 230, in my shipyard. The machine close the gap between my bigger millingmachine and the MF70.
It was a superspecial sale and to get the good price i activated Santa Claus a little bit earlier. I am unsatisfied with my bigger machine and i have been watching for a while the market for a good alternative.
The first Problem with the FF230 is the range of vices from Proxxon. All the vices has a small height to clamp the component which is a problem if you need to mill parts for 1/48 or bigger.
I adapted my very good Röhm vice with a lot of pads. Any parts of the proxxon clamp-set helps me here. This works very well with the machine.
Finaly a good and simple machine, very heavy for the size.
I dont know if he can replace the MF 70. The backlash from the MF 70 is much better for high presicion work, the MF70 can work with high speed.
The cover from the slideway is better on the MF 70. For the FF i have made a McGyver solution with a paper.
The equipment from the MF is as well better. The clamp set is part of the machine. For the FF you have to buy everything extra.

I have several Dremel tools a scroll saw and hand held tools with flex cable and the drill stand for hand held tools.

If you don’t find a home on your side of the pond I would be interested if price was good!

Lacking any exprience or knowledge of how to operate a milling machine I can only appreciate the output from one who does. I am still mostly a hands on carving and limited drilling, jigsawing, and sanding guy. Anything is possible over the horizon though and I enjoy looking at what I can find in SoS for the work of other mates. PT-2
 
Now I am lost in the doldrums and floating dead calm without progress while trying to find a thread reply from another shipmate assisting me in linking into a sub-group/thread/forum related to rigging but cannot find the track back to link in to that. Any recollections would be greatly appreciated to get the ship moving forward again in my blind search in a fog bank.
