Interesting video. Many thanks! I was wondering why you make all these scratching tools when it seems like you could’ve used your drill as a mill. Was that considered and if it was, why was the set of scratching tools preferred?
These are two option you can use, two equivalent methods in the toolbox of a modeller. Having said that not everyone has the drill. You can also decide to use the scratching tool just on the sides of the block where the inlet is smaller, so you don’t have to change the drill setting
Hi Etienne =) Very nice question. You can find those high quality and noble essences in specialised lumber mills. Unfortunately, I am aware that it's hard to find a wood supplier that is close to your place or that is available for shipment and that has different essences as well. For example, here in Italy one of the most stocked lumber mill is Segheria Leati (I pasted you the link below) and I know many ship modellers order the wood from there. . www.segherialeati.it/prodotti/vendita-legnami/tavolame-di-legni-pregiati-ed-esotici
Now that I have seen your “How to make 5 Metal Parts for your ship model” I am doing a complete redesign of the Propellers and I will probably use both brass and copper. I may try very light sheet steel too. I do not know If a can manipulate a piece that small. Thank you for your videos and your help
⭐Check out also my new video on how to make blocks with pulleys:

Now imagine making 100 of this. Model builders surely have a lot of patient
great video! Very helpful, thanks!
Great work,AWESOMEeeeee !!!!!
SUPERRrrrrrr .......R !!!!!
Thanks mate!
This is a pretty good way to make blocks. Now I only need 60 of this size and about 40 of this other size and another 50 of various sizes. 😮

thank you
You’re welcome :)
Any thoughts on how to make mast rings for model ships?
I want to scratch build a steampunk Airship with sails with rigging for its Propellers.
Have you tried brass?

Hello, what type of thread do you use and what size?
Hi there. Is DMC thread of various sizes, you can check out that in details in this video: ua-cam.com/video/JUq1SaW35Ko/v-deo.htmlsi=Z4jEeQFIbBsv0qqm
Just a thought from the peanut gallery: Why not make those tools double-ended so one tool does two different sizes?
It's a great thought actually. I think it might actually be safer (for me) to have just one working end
Great work and really clever tool making. But what if you have to make several hundred? Still, I’m impressed
Thank you! As Mr. Frolich said in his book “The art of modeling” everything takes its time ;)
Very well done but not efetive, too much work.
Once you do the first 5 or 6 block you’ll become quite fast :) I can make 1 in 5minutes. Nobody’s running after me for that eheh
