Hello Wayne, would recommend the book Anatomy of the Ship by Portia Takakjian as a quick reference. The book has data on Essex's mast/spar sizes as well as rigging layouts and associated details.

Hello Jim,

I took my usb drive to Gig Harbor Copy and Print on Judson St. (3110 Judson St. Gig Harbor, WA). Just print full size. They did a fantastic job. Also had them printout Chapter One on 32 pound paper, much easier to handle in the binder I put together for this build.

Chuck, this is a fantastic series. Being a visual person, these videos really help simplify the planking process. Thanks again. 

Hello everyone, this will be my first scratch project. Will be taking my time on this. Ordered the plywood on Wednesday.

Do you mind if I pull up a chair to follow along.

Thanks Chuck. Just placed my order. Timing finally worked out for me. Now the waiting.
