Hi guys

Thanks for the help now I can see what an Ogee is I can see how it was used to make gutters.

I have discovered that what Veiling is should have been rather obviousDunce [D)]

Its the stiffish black fabric used to make the veils on lady's hats of the period (1919)

Hence its use to produce lead light windows when stuck to acetate sheet.

Well all I can say is next time I can get my hands on an ancient modeling text I will try and get a copy of the whole text, it was a worth while read for the part I had.

I might even see if I can make the Pub even though the building seems a bit small for what it claims to be.

regards John

In some parts of the world veiling, when used in wood working context, used to mean a fine veneer, most commonly with an inlayed pattern.

It is normallly supplied in the UK as a double sided "plank" with "Torus and Ogee" mouldings on them -we use it for skirting board around our rooms.

John,

Ogee is a standard woodworking profile, just a bit fancier than, say, a quarter round, hence - Oh-Gee! Here it is -

John.

To see a picture of an ogee, go to Google and type in "ogee, woodworking" without the quotation marks and the second description down shows both the Router Bit and some cutouts shown on wood samples. An ogee is a common woodworking proceedure that is in use daily in some part of the world.

As for the "veiling", I would assume that it refers to the light gauzy material that a Brides veil is made from, (and other things). It was used a lot in the past on ladies hats, hanging down just in front of the eyes.

I would think that both terms are in use in most?, English speaking countries.

I hope that this helps you out.

Hi guys

I have just been reading a part copy of an old model making article January 1919, I only have a part copy of the article.

However it refers to veiling which is obtained from a draper, and an "ogee" moulding which I assume is wood ??

Does any one have any idea what they are I have no real idea and don't know the country of origin of the article which may influence what it is called where.

any ideas would be welcome

regards John
