Not a tool in the true sense of the word but glue.

Like a lot of folks I've become affected by superglue in that it gives me cold like symptons for a couple of days or more. With my later builds I managed without it though on occasions it would have been useful.

Someone on another forum who is similarly affected suggested DeLuxe Materials Superphatic which is odourless. I've used it but don't think it's a superglue as it takes minutes to dry. It has its uses though. I've even thought about trying superglue outside.

The same chap then recently suggested a cyanoacrylate which is odourless from Bob Smith Industries so I bought a bottle of Super-Gold which is a thin 3 to 5 second glue and a bottle of Super-Gold+ which is gap filling medium 5 to 15 second glue.

Used it last night on my Faun roof and it worked well. Held the planks together whilst I applied spots of the thin which wicked into the joints and ran some of the medium between the planks and the roof support. So happy with that and glad to have my full selection of glues again including aliphatic wood glue and canopy glue.

I'm restricted by space as well Alessandro as I use the small bedroom, though it is nice in the winter, and so I can't stretch as far as a proper workshop. But I manage though and it's amazing what I do have in there! I do have a garage but it's only a single and rammed with stuff!

As regards the drill attachment, that has arrived. I haven't opened it yet but RobBob has already "road tested" it as we know. Turning the flex-shaft it feels a little dry so will benefit from a drop of oil I think. With the set I've bought it will be a useful addition to the tool kit. The full description on Amazon is DEWALT Right Angle Drill Adaptor, FlexTorq, 4-in-1 System, Compact, Straight Flexible Shaft, 12-Inch (DWAMRASETFT).

Highly professional, Bob, for now (but I think forever given the space available) it's science fiction for me.

I have a dremmel and find itfantastic for small grinding bit etc. I bought a set of 3 mm carbide burrs off Temu with cross cut flutes and they work very well. You need to be careful with them as they cut so well its easy to go too far, if you know what I mean.

How about a miniature drill/milling machine?

The very small, but very heavy little drill/milling machine lives on my workbench where it takes up very little room and is used quite a lot for drilling.

Although I have also set it up for milling, I have not done any with it yet - but I have tested this function and it is strong enough for lightweight milling and its weight makes it vibration free.

Prompted by right-angle drill adapters on RobBob's thread and the need not to clog his thread up I think it would be a good idea to suggest and discuss tools on a separate thread which would go hand in hand with Alessandro's thread listing all the tools that are beneficial for model boat building.

I'll add my thoughts on the DeWalt adapter when it arrives later today, unless someone else wants to chip in.

In the meantime I'll mention my Proxxon flexible shaft drive which can be used for similar things and others. I bought a Proxxon FBS 240/E at a local show when I first got into the hobby a few years ago so that I could use it with some very small dia. drills I'd bought. But I soon realised that in common with most, if not all Proxxon drills/grinders they don't run slow enough for delicate work and in fact with around 1mm drills I prefer to do by hand using a pin vise.

Later I purchased a the flexible drive which I thought would be useful in the future! It lay in the cupboard for a couple of years but when I wanted to open up some frames already built in it was just the job. It's similar to a Dremmel so takes various types of grinding wheels. I even used it recently to open up space in the transom of Faun for the rudder linkage and that is a small model at only 16" long. Some of these tools don't get used often but when they are needed they are worth the purchase.
