I am Tony, 49 and I like boats among other things
I've always lived or had a summer home close to sea so boats, canoes, surf boards etc. have been a part of my life. And I've always liked to make things with my hands. When I was 13 I made a wind surfing board, since that I have making/modifying something for hobby. I seem to need something to do or it feels weird.
First time I was considering building a boat was about 10 years ago, I even bought a bunch of books on the subject and did research the subject with great enthusiasm. Then something else (new wife, new business, new vintage car) took my time and I postponed it until now.
So, with new zeal I am currently researching about building a Glen-L Barrelback. I already received the study plans and things look good and perfectly doable to me. I think I have most of the tools necessary but I don't have a place to build it yet, so that is the main problem to solve before I can start doing anything actual about this. I infact do have space suitable for building but my other hobbies occupy it so I need to figure out if I need a new space for the boat or for the other things.
Lots of things to think and plan but I hope to get there (ie. cutting wood) some day soon.
Have a nice year 2018!
