Hello and welcome to my first build of my first wooden ship. I got the Corsair brigantine from my wife for an early birthday present. My wife was also kind enough to set up a place for me to work and get me starter tools. This is my first attempt in this hobby so I will have plenty of questions and hope to get lots of help. I eagerly look forward to any and all comments. Here is the box that came..... And here it is laid out to attempt a count Thanks for stopping by, David

Thanks for the tip. I guess I have a lot of work to do thank you. David

Nice area to work now ok so how do I count all the wood since there are so many listed at different lengths? Is there no this is how many wood pieces there should be?
