Firedog Posted October 29, 2022 #1 Posted October 29, 2022 I discovered model ship building from watching the Youtube channel "The Art of Boat building" by Bob Emser. My initial goal was to build the Herreshoff 12 1/2 to match the Haven that was built on the channel. Since building the dory and pram of the shipwright builders series, I have become hooked and plan on continuing this hobby. Looking forward to learning much from all the experienced members here. mtaylor, Harvey Golden, RossR and 4 others 7 Quote

allanyed Posted October 29, 2022 #7 Posted October 29, 2022 7 hours ago, Firedog said: Since building the dory and pram of the shipwright builders You sure did chose the best possible beginner models and no doubt will be able to use a lot of what you learned as you move on to more complicated projects. As you have chosen the Herreshoff 12 1/2 I am guessing you have plans from Mystic or elsewhere and will be doing a scratch build. Please consider starting a build log as many of us would love to see this vessel come to life.

Peanut6 Posted October 31, 2022 #12 Posted October 31, 2022 Welcome aboard Firedog. Ditto to what everyone else has said. I too just started following "The Art of Boat Building", only because of his building the tender for Arabella. Got hooked on Acorn to Arabella when a link was posted, long ago, showing how a garboard plank was really installed. Visited Mr. Peabody's "Wayback Machine" to catch the beginning and bing watched till I got caught up. You've found an unexhaustible fountain of knowledge and caring/sharing people who can help you through any and all issues you may come across during you builds. Take your time, be patient and enjoy the voyage. mtaylor and Keith Black 2 Quote Take care and be safe. kev Current Build: HMS Bounty's Jolly Boat - Artesania Latina On the shelf: Oseberg #518 - Billing Boats
