richard the 3rd Posted September 11, 2017 Share #1 Posted September 11, 2017 well found your site quite by accident and browsed it and liked what i saw , this looks like the right place for me as i would like to try my hand at building a boat, ship or a like from a plan however i need advise as a newbie to the hobby with reasonable skills. i hope you are all friendly and i do apologize in advance for asking silly questions that might already have been covered but could not find due to lack of asking it the wrong way in the search box . hope to talk with you all soon Richard Tom E, JeffT, Ulises Victoria and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
