    French steam powered submarine Narval, 1889 in 1:100

    My current project is a model of the French submarine Narval. First I drew it up three dimensionally in AutoCAD: Then I printed out templates for the stations and profile, glued them to 1/8" aircraft ply, and cut them out with a coping saw. I glued them up together and started planking...

    French polish: work in progress

    Here is a post in follow up. I followed Jeff Jewitt's recipe from his book Finishing. Highly recommended. Don't be fooled though. This picture was taken before the mineral oil was removed. I can tell all the pores have been filled though and I think I will still have a nice glossy finish when...

    French vs German?

    I suspect it's meant as a smart remark but think it maybe over the political line... or at least really close to it. Check Dragon's post to the Leaky Basement thread at http://www.ncwoodworker.net/forums/f105/leaking-basement-blues-29527/

    French Glue Bottle

    I think I have found the greatest glue bottle ever invented. For years I have used a Titebond bottle with the pull-up cap. It works OK, but how many times have you been gluing something up and looked over at your glue bottle to see glue streaming down the cap, and side making a gigantic...

    Zinsser French Polish

    Greetings to All Ye Good Men (and Ladies): Not being satisfied with the "canned" finishes available at Lowes, etc., I recently decided to try French Polishing. Being basically lazy by nature I guess, I looked with dismay at all the steps involved in traditional French Polishing and decided to...
