Hey there folks,
I was a member a few years back and lost touch with the site after moving and internet changes and timing conflicts.
I am a New Zealand born boat nut who moved to America and have been dabbling in building since I have been here.
I am a scratch builder who finds scrap wood and normally works from plans I find on ebay and in the odd magazine I scrounge up. I usually build Thames River tugs but generally stray from the deck design and make a composite of several styles that I find from searches.
I have been looking through the forum and I am, as always, amazed at the quality of the builds and the detailing is a testament to the time and effort dedicated to the work. I can only hope to get up to that level sometime in the future.
I look forward to seeing so much and learning a lot from you guys.
