Well, we all have to start somewhere and sometime. I guess that sometime is now and the somewhere is in my very cluttered garage. I have been trying to start this project for over a year and I have decided to just quit trying to re-invent the wheel (something I have been doing to this boat design for a while now). Thus I have my plans (Hull #152) and I am beginning this process. I don't know if I am going to go like lightening and get done as soon as possible or if this will drag out for 2 years. I have about a million reasons (work, school, remodeling my house, etc) to not start this project, but sometimes you just have to say, this is what I want and do it. I also know my personality. If I don't get this boat built in something of a quick turnaround, I will drag it out for a while. Only time will tell.
All right, so I'll give everyone a quick picture of who I am. I'm 44 years old, single, and employed as an electrical engineer, although my background is nuclear power (spent 6 years in the Navy, 4 on a submarine as a Reactor Operator and commonly referred to as a Navy Nuke). This is also the first boat I will have built. My experience working with glass is very, very limited, but I am a very accomplished woodworker (built my kitchen cabinets from scratch), so I'm hoping that I can combine the two of the skills and come out somewhere in the middle. I'm also working solo, so I don't know how many "action" pictures will make it here, but I will do my best. If anyone knows of any great ideas, either for the build or the blog, I'm certainly open to hearing them.
Later,
