The first responder was too far away to want to ship so far. I have started to clean up my wood stash that I know I will never use. If you are beginning as a modeler, this would be nice to have extra around.  Mostly Sapele which I don't use anymore, some western hemisphere Mahogany and some Basswood. A lot of thin wood and a few planks. Even some Eucalyptus.  I will box and mail or UPS to you and you can pay me back for the shipping by check or Paypal. Send me a private message and the first will be the winner. There is a good bit of wood and I don't even notice it is gone! I am in eastern Washington State and the box is 5by 5 inches by 36 (a yard) long and about 7 lbs. You calculate your costs if you want it. 

Hi All this wood has been claimed!

Hi Hank: I almost, make that never send messages, but this has been my favorite "Project" to follow progress upon over the past months!  Thanks so much!

I was unable to respond to the address above. 

How do I get a copy?

Regards, Dave

Cleaning out my workshop; I have more stock than I can ever hope to complete in my lifetime.  So, first I would like to sell my “a wood supplier” timbering set in maple for the Rattlesnake with plans. The plans are Hahn originals with a copy set as well as several plan sheets that I got from the Smithsonian a number of years ago. This is an expert, “scratch” kit where the only kit parts are the laser cut keel, keelson, deadwood, wing transom, stem, rudder, stern frames, stern post, mast partners, and deck beams. The materials and plans are for the 20-gun Privateer in 1/4 inch scale ( hull size is 37 x 24 5/8 x 12). Includes milled maple stock for framing, clamps,   etc. and a “Hahn style” framing jig. I had a couple of small bundles of oak that are in the box too. Use your own small grain wood to finish! This is a pretty heavy box. I will take $175 for all this including shipping.  Send me a PM and we can do the transaction PayPal if you are interested.

Hi:  I cut my own planks and I find the thickness sander essential in two steps, first to mill the width of the stock before do the final cutting. I mill all the blanks to the matching width for the batch of planks before I slit them. Then, I use the sander again to mill any cutting marks and smooth the planks after I slice a batch.  I can't really do a satisfactory job for myself now unless I use this tool!

Thank you for the response.

You may count me for a boxwood milled set when they are available. I like others will begin this project after my current build has satisfied me. But I am happy to purchase items as they become available to assist with your production and planning!

Best regards to all, Dave

Hello:

How do I go about ordering a set of the boxwood carvings?

In advance, thank you for your help,

Hello from the other side of the world. I too set about to build the VASA. After seeing it in Stockholm thirty years ago. Most unlikely now since I have many unfinished scratch ships now at different stages of completion. (All un done)!

These items have been sold. Thank you for everyone's interest.

Best regards, Dragonflyxlii

I have a full set William Romero’s practicums for the HMS Warrior, six volumes - Volumes I through Volumes V -1 and V - 2. I also have the set of Romero's 3/16 scale set of Warrior plans (11 sheets) , one (1) set of Warrior keel plans in 3/16 and 1/8 scale and a set of Hahn plans of the HMS Alfred in 1/8 scale.  Several of the Practicums have not been removed from the shrink wrap. I have decided I am not going to ever get to the construction so I would like for these to belong to an NRG member. I would like to get $275. plus shipping. I will ship media for the items if I can.  How’s about $300.00 delivered?  Send me a private message and we can go forward.

I have sold this item! Thanks for all of you who were looking in!

I have a mini copy (or “duplicator”) lathe by Klein Design of Renton Wa. It is basically a Taig mini lathe with a copy attachment by Bonnie Klein’s business in Renton WA from the 1990’s.  The Taig lathe is made of machined aluminum, powered by a 1/6hp motor; still available from Lee Valley. You will need your own speed control for the Dayton motor. It has a small Jacobs chuck and a live center.  Some light surface rust on some of the ferrous parts that should clean right up. The “copy” or “duplicator” part of the lathe lets you follow a template or copy an original part up to 1 3/4 inches in wood or 3/8 inch bronze for example.  I was going to use this to make scale cannon but I’m lazy most times. I also have the short instructions that came with the lathe.

I really would like this to go to a model shipbuilder so I will let it go for $150.00. Weighs a bit. Probably around $50 - $75 to ship to continental U.S. only and I will disassemble from base to ship.  Send me a private message and I will respond. I will try to do the photos with this post, otherwise in email in response to your private message.  A neat little tool that needs to be used. If I am asking too much also let me know.

I have their treenail cutter, use it exclusively and have successfully for years. I also have the mill setup with all the accouterments and find it easy to use and well made if you don't want to spring for an expensive mill. I think their products are pretty creative!

Nope, For all six!
