FlyingFish Posted June 28, 2021 #421 Posted June 28, 2021 (edited) Just read through the entire log in one sitting - what a super build - you have captured the atmosphere of this working boat so well; I have learned a great deal from the skills you have demonstrated. May I also say that your presentation of the build with it's outstanding photographs and notes adds enormously to the enjoyment. Congratulations, and thank you!

jdbondy Posted March 3, 2023 #422 Posted March 3, 2023 Hi Gary, I was happily directed to this build log from a different log. I am making today's comment to make sure you are familiar with an article that appeared in the January/February 2023 edition of Wooden Boat, entitled "The Wizards of Stony Creek". It talks about Johnny Waters and his various boats (including oyster draggers) in the area of the Thimble Islands on the Connecticut coast. You seem to be someone who would be interested in the article. Enjoy!

I subscribed to Wooden Boat for years - it's such a great magazine. Actually, I don't know why I stopped getting it. Maybe time to re-subscribe. Thanks again.

woodartist Posted October 3, 2023 #425 Posted October 3, 2023 As a novice reading thru your build log was like a graduate level course in boat modeling. Thanks so much for sharing. TOM G, FriedClams and Keith Black 2 1
