I'll get into the thick of things a little more thoroughly when I have more time but I wanted to take a moment and say hello.
I came across this hobby not so long ago when I bought one of those Metal Earth models on a whim. My long time love of maritime history and basic modeling crashed together and here I am. After searching through so many forums, this was my first. I don't wish to say anything ill of any other forums, but this seemed the most inviting due to the people. I read through some ship logs, kit reviews, and just seeing the community interaction was enough for me.
I plan to turn this into a lifelong hobby. I love tinkering, new people, trying new stuff, challenges, and working with my hands. I'll have another thread up shortly to gather some opinions on a first build but right now my main concern is finding the right tools for proper wooden ship building. My current supply of tools is either for home repairs, firearm maintenance, watches, or fixing glasses. HA!
So thank you for having me. I am pretty excited to be here and join your community.
