"As Ingenuity is to ideas, Marine Design is to Art, Design, & Engineering"

Working without major power tools, except for a drum sander on a dremel, Suizan Fine and Course Japanese Hand Saws, Chisels occasionally, a Coping Saw, Sand Paper 220, PLans NRG 0138 Continental Galley Washington 1776, Titebond, Mahogany, Brazilian Cherry, and Poplar.  But, with all this wood and plans my imperative is to construct as much as I am able a framework using wood, I am not making the frames per instructions, rather bulkheads instead all the way through each frame recess. Reason being is I will be wiring through strategically coordinated bores through bulkheads a 14 AWG sculpting wire for a clay hull. I prefer clay hulls and a wood, brass, bronze, copper, and rigging fittings throughout. Of course this presents problems of its own. Once bulkheads and wiring are constructed I will fill the starboard and port sides with clay with as many coats I require. Always maintaining a smooth and fair hull shape according to shape of bulkheads from plans instead of frames. Hopefully, and with time, dedication, and diligence in work habits, I hope to make this my signature mark in the model ship world of naval architecture. I also create my own yacht designs as a somewhat Marine Designer with two years of formal training. Let us hope I can leverage my own experience, passion, and love for the nautical world. Just getting started and will post pictures at a later date as this is a very slow process. 

"As Ingenuity is to Ideas, let Art, Design, & Engineering be to Marine Design her own Imperative."
