I’ve been a woodworker for many years, restoring furniture for an antiques business and building furniture for personal use. Nothing spectacular, but I love working with hand tools. Over the years of antiquing I have acquired a couple of model ships as I’ve had an interest and building one but never could bring myself to spend a couple hundred dollars on a model that I might not feel inclined to finish so here I am in my 80s picking it up again. A model I’ve had for a while that I’ve recently picked up and started working on again. Is that the beginning of stage of planking so I’m approaching with trepidation the model is of the Elbe,
It is a constructo kit from Spain. I’m looking forward to learning more through your website. My handle is Mikey 40 but I go by Michael.
