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
