Congrats Doug, the only problem mentioning this is that it could possibly encourage the one with the long words living in the depths of Pennsylvania [Olin mills or something like it ] to do the same ...mjh
So was that a seven year or a five year apprenticship Dave?....mjh
Doug: Nice goin' eh.

5 year on paper but the reality of the times made it more like 4+ and then Journeyman's Papers. Tales of a Boatbuilder Apprentice
I envy you that experience, Dave. I used to hang around the boat shop at Old Mystic and drool over the kind of work those fellas were getting to do. I bought Seward's book and Chapelle's and damned near memorized them. Still, I spent my working life building houses that didn't float and cabinets that only had to fit inside of rectangles. It would seem to me that building a boat would be like making something that was very nearly alive.
