Hi, Herb from Southern Maine

[Herbs Ships]

Hi, newbie to ship building and to the forum! Soon to start building my first wooden ship (dory…lol) with hopefully many others to follow. I am starting with several novice builds so that I can develop good results and habits. Any and all help is appreciated…and I have thick skin, you won’t hurt my feelings!

Regards, Herb

Welcome from Colorado.

The forum is very helpful, so if you have specific questions don't hesitate to ask for advice/input.

Building the dory is a great way to start. You'll discover what tools you need and develop skills and techniques that will help as you advance to bigger ships.

Enjoy!

Welcome to the forums !
Don't laugh at the Dory. Its a great model to start with!
We all had very limited skills when we started. Many of us are glad to help if you have questions.

Welcome to SoS. Great choice to start with the Dory. Love your part of the country, spent many days in Sanford with family back in the day.
