Years ago I lucked out when the local hobby shop was going out of business. I got most of his stock of model plywood from 1/64th up to 1/4 cheap.
Tools that every model builder or maker should have.
1) A flat surface. And I mean flat. Heavy plate glass will work as would a section of granite counter top (but that might not be as flat as you think). Even better is a small surface plate.
2) 1-2-3 Blocks. As it says they are 1" x 2" x 3" with all sides 90° to their adjacent sides. Usually sold in sets of 2
3) Good straightedges. Preferably with no graduations on the egdes.
4) A good protractor if you are doing angular cuts.
5) An angle plate. Another option here is extruded Aluminum Angle available at hardware or home improvement centers. 1/8th or 3mm is preferred.
6) Clamps.
7) Good lighting that properly illuminates the work and reduces eye strain.
8) Reverse tweezers. The kind that are naturally shut.
Im in love with this series, it has hepled me out a lot. Thank you so much for making it
Thank you for doing this, just starting out and all these tips are amazingly helpful. Also, having an easy to understand and listen to voice helps :D.
Thanks great informative video. Cheers.
Great stuff, thanks for sharing!
Nice video and instructions. Great tips. Staining with markers is genius. Mahalo for sharing! : )
GREAT WORK .
Who ever thought that in the age of 3D printers, there's still a place for balsa wood!

absolutely genius channel

cheers
Thanks
For those who don't have access to a bandsaw, a Japanese-style Ryoba is even more essential. The backsaws sold with miter-boxes are typically cross-cut; the Ryoba with have both a rip and crosscut side.
I'm not really sure the yellow miter box used here is worth anyone's time for model making; they're meant for cutting molding and aren't actually all that precise. A model maker's miter box isn't much more expensive, and would likely come with a smaller-kerf razor saw more appropriate for the task.
All that being said, I think *anyone* can cut a bang-on 90* cut with a brief tutorial and a just a little practice - I don't think anyone really needs a miter box unless you're sawing a large number of cuts. (Perhaps it isn't worth everyone's time to learn to consistently cut precise angled cuts, but you'd only have to nail it once to make the kerfs for your own wooden miter box).
Just my thoughts. Being a woodworker, I'll admit I'm probably biased, but it's such a cheap and versatile materials, some basic skills go a long way!
Thanks for your feedback and comments much appreciated
👏👏👏👌
How to cut a 45 bevel on thin basswood or balsa so that you can join walls of a model structure together to allow for a nice corner finish.

Practice, or use a machine or a jig to do it.
For straight up wood projects I'm not a huge fan of using CA, unless there are styrene and/or metal parts to be added. I like tite-bond 2 for wood projects, it has just a very small amount of give in humid environments.
Ok, thanks for the tip!
@@EricStrebel One other thing, Elmers wood glue is too rigid and brittle and can crack very easily.
"have access to a laser cutter" lol
There are other options than a laser cutter. As mentioned a bandsaw but bands saw blades at 3000 feet per minute can wander badly especially on the cheaper saws. There are small table saws available and they aren't hard to build. Avoid the cheap one at Harbor Freight. Scroll saws are a good option. Another option especially for thinner materials is a paper cutter. Either the guillotine type or the slider type. Curiously one piece of equipment that has been gaining popularity amongst some modelers are Cricut machines sold to scrap book enthusiasts.
But good tools cost money but are usually cheaper in the long run imo.
I've found if you use a thinner type of superglue on balsa wood you get a lot a heat generated and some very nasty fumes.
Have not seen that, but is interesting
@@EricStrebel it can generate enough heat to burn fingers badly. Try some extra thin superglue on balsa and you should get a reaction .
Thanks for the content, found some really useful tips. Just a wondering when you say 50.8mm x 50.8mm do you mean 58mm as I saw on the video on the ruler you measured 58mm or 5.8cm? Can you please clarify. Thanks again for the tips
A 2 inch cube is 50.8 mm
Enjoy watching these tutorials, and find them informative so thanks for that, BUT can’t help thinking there’s going to be a surge in local A&E with mitred thumb removals!! LOL but on a slightly more pressing issue why oh why does everything nowadays have to be the essentially the same thing “EG you doing product designs “ have to be shown on all these social media platforms ! Sorry but everything seems to be “follow me on this, on that , on another, on also, etc etc it’s almost like there has to be sooo many platforms it’s a modern day curse. With these ridiculous bloody platforms so someone can say “I have a large online presence “ maybe Eric I’m just getting to old for all that crap that’s sooo necessary!!
Nice video but the volume is suboptimal. Your voice is not loud enough compared to ads and everyone else's videos. That alone is acceptable. The sudden negative sound effects are at a normal volume so it is relatively too loud. It hurts my ears after raising my playback volume for your voice.
Sure
