David_T Posted February 16 Share #1 Posted February 16 Hello everyone; Last summer, I decide to try my hand at a wooden ship, again. My first experience ended in a failure, but I never gave up the dream of completing a wooden ship. I settled on trying my hand with Occre's Polaris. (Build log should start soon) Since joining MSW in November, I've been lurking around and learning. I have seen some lovely builds that have been bookmarked for reference. I have also looked at builds of ships and such that I had never considered building. It's with awe that I look at the talent and experience that was on display. I don't spend much time on social media sites, but this one has a friendly vibe. (Shout out the moderators and members) On the personal side, I'm an middle aged accountant that likes to read and visit with his family. The Admiral likes to scrapbook. Cheers, David Harvey Golden, mtaylor, JeffT and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thukydides Posted February 16 Share #3 Posted February 16 Welcome to MSW. Starting a build log is the first step to success. Starting out can be quite overwhelming, but if you keep at it you will gradually learn the vocab and the skills to succeed. Treat every step like its own project, this is a marathon not a sprint and I suspect that given you are a similar stage of life to me that you should expect your build time to be measured in years not months :).
