Hello Everyone! I've got to say my mouth hang open in amazement at some of the work you guys are putting put! Simply amazing!
I'm Jeff from Ohio, been building RC planes for 40+ years, crashing them for just as long Been building furniture as a hobby for 20 some years and thought I'd take the plunge on shipbuilding. I tried once back in the mid 80's, but with no guidance, no internet, no YouTube, and with no clue, it didn't turn out well shall we say. But with sites like this, I'm optimistic. Starting off with a Model shipways Bluenose, and Bob Hunts practicum and we'll see where we end up. Just getting everything in place and the build will begin soon. I don 't know if any of you have seen this before, saw it this morning, a video of a 2014 build of a 144' Schooner Columbia is Pensacola. What a thing of beauty!
