Arrr, taking a breather after cutting wood all afternoon, got a bunch more to go too, yuck ...

I have a question for anyone in the know about RSM models. The Wench and the Destroyer are nearly identical in the new version, the only difference is one has the inset tank well, the other has the atty mounted to the top as normal.

Would it be simpler if I just called it the Mark-7 Destroyer, your choice of with or without inset tank well?

I am trying to get my head around the fact that I have 3 models, 6 hardware choices, 20 choices of panels with matching end caps, or 34 choices of end caps if the panel matches the body.

Yikes, how the heck do I make the selection process easy? And not to mention if anyone wants inlays or engravings. It's a pity my web skills are not up to making some kind of dynamic selection options for people to use, I am going to have to post here on ECF as normal.

Arrr, time for a short break ..

P.S., almost forgot, 12 choices of main body wood

I think if it would be simpler for you to only have the two models with the option of inset tank or not that would work for everyone else. It might help keep confusion down as well when talking about model sizes. Since you've built some of the old style wenches, it would help alleviate any confusion over new model, old model. Which kinda brings us back around to maybe keeping the name destroyer for the Mark-7, and choosing a new name for the Mark-8.

Caraval, sounds like it would be yummy, caraval apples, a sundae with caraval and chocolate topping :D

I guess I like cruiser, destroyer, frigate etc., due to being retired navy.

Really tho, I can change the names to virtually anything and it won't change the way they work, and I've always used the Mark-# designation to help keep things straight.

Ohhhh, I like Frigate.


Cappy - I think you're thinking of caramel. You must be one of those people that pronounces it weird! It's Car-mel. Not Care-a-mel! Only two syllables! :p

So, your kids are Navy brats? I'm an Army brat... have no home. :( Poor me...
