Glenn87654 Posted June 5, 2020 Share #1 Posted June 5, 2020 Hi everyone, thanks for letting me join. I'm not sure about posting, if this is where/how to do it. My name is Glenn, from Florida. I have not built any wooden model ships. Previously I built a 1/200th scale model of the the Japanese battleship Yamato. Looking forward to learning about wooden tall ship construction. ccoyle, mtaylor, JeffT and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyageur Posted June 6, 2020 Share #7 Posted June 6, 2020 Welcome! Is there a particular ship or boat you want to build? mtaylor 1 Quote We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore is a habit, not an act. ~ Aristotle I could carry, paddle, walk and sing with any man I ever saw. I have been twenty-four years a canoe man, and forty-one years in service; no portage was ever too long for me, fifty songs could I sing. I have saved the lives of ten voyageurs, have had twelve wives and six running dogs. I spent all of my money in pleasure. Were I young again, I would spend my life the same way over. There is no life so happy as a voyageur's life! ~ The Voyageur, Grace Lee Nute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn87654 Posted June 6, 2020 Author Share #8 Posted June 6, 2020 Hi everyone, I am reading books on planking, rigging and some of the build logs of some very talented members. Becoming enlightened, inspired and trying to realize the time, patience and skill that goes into building a beautiful wooden tall ship, BEFORE I start on my model ship journey. Thanks again for your greetings, I really enjoy reading the logs, advice and comments of the MSW members. mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
