Any of you East Coast guys know this fella?

I saw this well skilled New Bedford guy’s efforts on the Wooden Boat website. Anybody familiar with his work?

Check out the boat pages. Excellent work.

 

Thanks for sharing this. Anyone who hasn’t checked this guy’s website out should do so at their earliest convenience. It is truely humbling to see the work of such a skilled craftsman. Check out the dove-tail joint on the deck hatch. I’m basically a weekend hacker in comparison.

I don’t imagine there’s a heap of money in what this guy is doing so I guess he’s doing it mostly for the love. When I finally retire from my trade (I’m a carpenter) one of the first things I want to do is start building a wooden boat. My little brother has already built one. Took him ten years!
