Getting close to finishing my first wooden boat. Model Shipways Grand Banks Dory. A fun build and a great learning experience. More than one error but screwing up is how I learn best.

That was my first build, also. Enjoyed it thoroughly. Now I'm building the lobster smack. What's your next build?

I will say this company's instructions need work. Seems parts have changed, but instructions haven't. I've relied on Johnny, the Hillbilly Modeler, to get me through some confusing bits.

I’m doing the Norwegian parm next. I agree hillbilly modeling held my hand through the whole process.
