I have a dream of building a beautiful wooden boat someday by hand. I know that many others share this dream as well. What I think holds me back, however, if the fear that if I tried this dream could easily turn into a nightmare.
Luckily I just found a great website all about wooden boat plans. As the author points out, the key to wooden boat building is having the right plans. There are many free wooden boat plans available on the internet, but you have no idea if these plans work or not, or if you end up (quite literally) sinking your time, money and energy into a boat that doesn't float. (If I were to start building a boat today, I would probably be most interested in plywood boat plans, since it seems like the best way to start).
Finding a good, reliable source of wooden boat plans is crucial to boat building success, and hopefully soon my boat building dream will turn into a reality!
