Hi Ya'll,
I recently joined the group to get a little practical knowledge from those that have gone before me in this endeavor. I've been woodworking for more than twenty years, mainly cabinetry, furniture, and projects around the home but have always wanted to build a boat. I realized early on that my experience with other woodworking venues would be helpfull but not a guarantee of success and that advice from experienced builders would be invaluable.
I live in Louisiana, about 5 minutes from the Red River and less than a half hour from 6 different lakes. Guess its time to get this project underway, I'm not getting any younger. I am going to start with a simple project and if it turns out to be my bailiwick, I plan to build a houseboat to put on the River and use on weekends.
I look forward to participating in this group and contibuting what I can, as well as picking your brains when it all goes horribly wrong (Murphy is not unknown to me). Good luck in your projects, we'll be talking, I'm sure.
Gary.
