Signed on a few months ago while searching for answers on the web during my first build, the just completed Dusek, Golden Hind.  I was astonished by the level of skill and freely shared knowledge presented here on these forums.

 

I'm a retired soldier living in beautiful east Tennessee with my wife and two schnauzers.  I found the Golden Hind very challenging and frustrating at times but overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.  I probably used enough wood to build two or three ships though.  I'm a bit self conscious about the outcome but I'll post a picture of it anyway.  I've just begun working on Constructo's Endeavor and I've begun planking.  As this is a single planked hull and my second build, it's a bit daunting and I am proceeding very slowly and carefully.  I have been watching Chucks outstanding planking videos and doing some reading.  I think that many of the things I learned here and while building the Hind will make for a better ship this time around.

Hi Tedirene,

Welcome to MSW.   Your Golden Hind looks great.  I suggest you open a build log on Endeavor as it's a good way to get help and having others look over your shoulder.
