Francis Drake's galleon...Golden Hind...built from scratch

Любитель said:
Greetings, dear colleagues... Unfortunately, building models "on the knee" has become unpopular... Building with machine tools and other auxiliary power tools is of interest... True, everything is more precise and accurate... Perhaps this is correct... but it seems to me that the warmth that can only be conveyed by the human hand has been lost... this is just my personal opinion...

Dear Любитель, I can't agree with you. There are many more of us who work only with hand tools. It only shows a little. I also use only simple hand tools on my Le Fleuron project. I have a lot of inaccuracies there, but I do it for my own pleasure. Your work is fantastic and the result is fascinating. You are proof that even with a minimum of tools, great things can be done. May you succeed at least as well as you have so far.

Greetings and I completely agree... although there are fewer and fewer people like us... But I gave myself a gift in the New Year... I bought a mini-circular saw and the next model will be created in much easier conditions than the previous ones... And... good luck to all of us!!!orig.jpg
