A life-long fascination with models led me to build numerous kits of wood, paper and plastic in my grammar school years. Most were for other people. My adult years saw the building of a nautical library and a focus on the construction of wooden vessels and rigging. Scratch building from actual plans and in larger scales allowed me to replicate construction practices and details.
I joined the Nautical Society of Oregon in 1989 and the Nautical Research Guild in 2003. Since then I have written for the NRJ, utilized the NRG website off erings and participated in the mentor program. I would probably be called a traditionalist as I like to work with hand tools, in wood and brass.
A most fulfi lling moment was when I was visited by a gentleman preparing an article for Wooden Boat magazine, soon to be followed by a book on the history of driſt boats. He had seen one of my boats in a gallery or fl y shop and was preparing to market his own set of models and kits to go along with the book. He was curious as to how I built my boats. He seemed perplexed when I informed him that I had no “secret system”, or tricks, that I simply built each model as if I were building a full- sized boat, but on a smaller scale. To me, this seemed the proper way to build a truly accurate model.
