T hanks KNUT AND DOC, Knut that was the main purpose of the build to take the simplests kit and do something else with it 98% of the wood was throw aways that I used my poor mans thickness sander on and the band saw to cut the strips, I was able to take a 1/4inch piece of ROSEWOOD and take it down to 3/64 inch, then put it on the Band SAW.

Don, here's my example of how to use scrap materials
I had this kit lying. I copied the frames and keel.

JIM, this is 3 hulls of HMS Endavor, which I just made for planking exercise.
Something I will probably do before my future POF project.
Now I have purchased the plans of The Rattlesnake by navy board models.
So, soon the great planning, will soon begin. Yiippi,
