Nice job,it is just amazing

-- Shawn,Minnesota

Brag away this is awsome. As is the full model.

The problem is this: either people like you inspire people to keep on trying, or give up and make macaroni sculptures.

I’m just saying…

The only thing I see or do not is the stacks of cannon balls. A stack here or there would be a nice touch.

-- Measure once cut twice....oh wait....ooops.

keep bragging. We get to benefit from your skills!

just amazing.

Nice work! Boy, you sure stretch your imagination on that project. We all benifit from one another.
Keep it up!

Do the cannon work? Oh, come on, tell me the cannon work.

Very cool anyway. I really like the scale, big enough to be out of the typical “model maker” range.

I just finished watching the link on u tube. That is simply amazing! May I ask what wood you used? Pardon me if I missed it.

-- Paul, Bristol,Rhode Island

quite impressive!

Now that is really nice work…...well done Tuanie.

I LOVE what you are doing here. I think it’s amazing!.... You are VERY talented.

A great skill that we are losing…but maybe a few quality people will continue to make wooden boats to keep the trade going for centuries…provided we’ll still have forests in a couple of hundred years.

well done , tuanie .

for most of my working carrier , ( 45 years )
i worked alone mostly .
i would get some help as needed .
i taught anyone that wanted to learn,
but most moved on , ” too much work ! ”
after i recently semi-retired ,i bought a computer to pass the time .
i thought as you do ,nobody cares , nobody wants to learn .

then i found this site .

and was totaly humbled and awed !

check out charles maxwell ,clockmaker . ohad milner , woodworking inovator
marco aurelio guimares , makes classic furniture by hand , in a closet !
i would run these names through the little search window , and you will be amazed .

i could name everyone here , we all have a story , we all seek learning .

i felt that my knowlege was going to be lost ,
that i would be forgoten !

the responces here were so strong ,
that i was compeled to not just show my work ,
but to reach beyond and learn how to teach !

now i am amongst fellow students , almost 12,000 around the world !
from the beguiner , to the masters . we are all the same .
through sharing ,we learn and grow .

watching someone take an idea , freely given ,
and go to new places , is a joy beyond measure !
do i need credit , not anymore .

go to home page , and roll the dice .
the work and people there are us ,
we toghether are larger , than anyone alone .
and the skills and growth are timeless .

you are home , you are one of us .

relax ,
teach ,
and enjoy !

When you got it, flaunt it… take pride and enjoyment from what you do.

I’m just starting out in the learning… and I learn from and enjoy the projects and write ups by you pros… obviously, you take no short cuts…

That is a great model. It nice to see for us non-seaworthy types what is the makeup of a boat.. I love. Post away, we accept bragging on this site.
