tedirene Posted October 24, 2019 #1 Posted October 24, 2019 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. Fernando E, GrandpaPhil, mtaylor and 2 others 5

mtaylor Posted October 25, 2019 #5 Posted October 25, 2019 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.
