You just need a few hand tools, and a place to build it. (For most of us, the space is the hard part.) I didn’t start until I found out about a workshop that gave me some a bit of a leg up… but it’s not hard. One step at a time, and really fun, because nothing is square!!! Haha!

Haha, thanks, Max! A bit of hand-work is a great antidote to screen time. I’m an ocean lover, so building small boats is a dream application, but I understand knitting is also fun. (Ha)

It’s coming along nicely, should launch this summer. The crew only work on it Saturday mornings, it’s been 18 months since we started it, so made pretty good time on her so far. Before paint and varnish can start flowing… completing these gaff jaw ticked one more fussy detail off the list!

Yup, just moved back to my hometown... was in Vancouver for almost 50 years. No shop here, yet. But working on it!

I've been building small wooden sailboats for the last dozen years... latest (a team build, here in photo) is an Ian Oughtred designed "Gannet", 14 ft semi-planing hull, she'll be rigged as a gunter sloop.

Guessing there's not much overlapping interest (blockchain/wood), yet. It'll probably build... But I'm wondering if "restoration" in the channel title limits your audience? (probably not at the moment, there's only 40 of us nuts here!) It may infer old and broken... some of us are building new!

Thanks for posting that, I’ve listened to it multiple times now, very enjoyable! Nice recording, a lot of reverb in that hall.

Frames isn’t about “onboarding the next billion users to crypto.” It’s about using blockchain networks to do things that billions of people want to do, better. https://www.notboring.co/p/framing-the-future-of-the-internet
