    I build wood boats

    Or at least I used to before detecting came along and sucked up all my time. I get epoxy from RAKA which is the best and cheapest I've found, then, a guy gets some wood from the local lumberyard, has sort of an idea what he wants, and just starts in...you dont need plans, just basic hand tools...
