HI Rob,

Like you I have purchased this kit to do in my retirement. I bought it from a gentleman who partially completed it. I think it it all there but does yours have a Parts List? I have Instructions Sheets 1 - 16 and A B and C. I see they have parts listed on them for progress, but it would be great of there was a sheet with all the bits listed, especially the timber. I am lucky that the fittings bags are still sealed, so trusting they are all there, but want the list of timbers so I can source them in readiness. Also to work out what type they are, Walnut Birch etc. No doubt it will be on the Instruction Sheets, but a comprehensive sheet would make it easy.

Hi Rob B,

FWIW, Mamoli kits do not come with a separate parts list.

All the information is documented on the plan sheets.

Sometimes there is a color chart for the wood on the inside of the box, but as you can imagine it may not be much help.

Your best guide is the measurement of the wood, and the quantity, which can be loosely matched to the amount called for.

It is a bit of a challenge, particularly with a large kit like Victory.

Thanks Gregory and sorry Rob B for such a long time in responding.  As stated, no parts list. I've found it extremely beneficial to be patient and review the instructions carefully step by step to identify the type and measurement of the material called for.  Using the wrong material, as I have in some cases, comes back to bite you later. The differences can be slight (a mm here or there...). I'm doing a lot of searching to find the called for material, and if I can't find it will have to figure out an alternate way to identify suitable replacement wood or another way forward entirely.
