Hi John,

I finally got my fisherman done at 14'. Had to change station1 but after trying several pieces it worked out great. This was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I had been a metal worker and machinist plus a few other things and after retiring 3 times and sitting on my ass for a year decided I had to do something. Saw your web site and after a couple of months deliberation ordered the plans from you, At 76 years, I'm a little slower than I used to be but am ready to tackle a different model, one without gray paint and a gun on the bow. A 12 inch planer, router, orbital sander and tons of sanding and I'm really happy the way it turned out. I must say that your on-going help with e-mails and the odd phone call was so helpful also. I can certainly recommend your plans and have passed on your web site to a lot of people here in Victoria. Thanks for all the help and I will be ordering more plans soon.
