Stefano Posted February 24, 2023 #1 Posted February 24, 2023 Thank you for approving my membership. I am into woodworking and wood carving. I am now inspired to build a few model ships in the next several months (we do have 2 nice sailing ships including the Endeavour that were built by my father-in-law). I have some books and tools so it makes sense to give it a go. I have my eye on the HMS Ontario, but I may start with a very small sailboat just to get my feet wet! Now just gathering historical information, build vids and logs, and ideas. Cheers. mtaylor, Bryan Woods, Keith Black and 4 others 7
