Review of the Admiralty Model Sail-making Workshop, NOTL

[AON]

Good morning world

 

I am feeling exceptionally chipper this fine Sunday morning having spent two days attending the sail-making seminar held in historical Niagara on the Lake (a 34 minute drive for me).

 

What a fantastically wonderful experience!  I am relatively new to all this and felt I should mention the comradery you feel from the help you get on this site DOES actually extend to real life meetings.

 

Of course my sorrowful looking first attempt at a sail is nothing to brag about but I have never learnt so much about 17th century sails (and other off menu ship building tidbits) that I just had to post a review.  I am actually thinking of framing and hanging my first miserable sail in my workshop as a reminder of the experience.

 

Just felt I had to share this feeling I am having.

 

David Antscherl is a wonderfully knowledgeable and patient instructor.  Unfortunately Greg Herbert could not be there;  I was so looking forward to meeting the gentleman.

 

I said it before and I'll say it again (and again, and again ....) what a wonderful site and fantastic group.

 

Thank you.

Alan

Framed and Hung

Decided to add a bit of artistic look by cutting it clear of the bolt rope with a ragged edge

The frame is see through both sides so I can look at the reverse if I need to refresh my memory of the work on that side.
