Amazing what you can find in your sock drawer when push comes to shove. Currently I have three sock drawers so there is probably some good nautical bits at the bottom of each of them๐ค

In the late 1800s my great-great-uncle pulled his sixshooter & killed his parrot...who had just pooped in his hat. Uncle Jim had a very short fuse when he had been drinking out there in the Wild West

Adapters for most of the major Tool ranges are available from Amazon. What you are asking about was pretty common practice back around 2002 when I first got back into flying model planes. That is around the time that electric flight really "took flight". The belt reduction system in many early cordless power tools was a real benefit to those who wanted to swing very large props. I don't use drill batteries myself I try to avoid LIPOs and prefer NIMH for safety.

Jumpugly, i too really like 1/2-hull models. Look fwd to seeing your interior. I was at a model train show recently, picked up a waterline model of a lobster boat. Very nicely weathered. Looks to be 1:20 or 1:22, so Garden-scale. Just needs a figure or two. Has lobster traps with floats.

Corning is a must-see even for non-technical persons. I watched glassworkers from the gallery. They insert a pontil rod into the open furnace & extract a glowing blob of molten glass, then form it into things such as $$$$$ paperweights. Don't be thinking you can purchase something inexpensive in the "giftshop", take a hi-limit creditcard with you. But it is worth the trip to see 13th century technology in operation.

Doorskins are an inexpensive source of 1/8" mahogany plywood. They typically measure 24-30" wide, 7ft long. I got mine at a HOME HARDWARE Building Centre. They are not marine grade which would guarantee that they have no voids within the Plies, but I have used these for years for many different types of woodworking projects and I have never encountered a Troublesome void yet
