    Norske, as a compliment I graciously accept your comments.
    As a true statement of fact I must correct you.
    I have NEVER in my working life as a Shipwright/Boatbuilder/Joiner/Loftsman known one Master Shipwright, tho to my eye there were several that would have qualified as such.

    Reminds me of Nahmy of New Yankee Workshop.

    Poor fellow in the credits is called Master Carpenter. From what I recall that was ***bestowed***on him bye the shows producer.
    He is a good mechanic, though the program yesterday provided SWIMPAL and I with some good chuckles over his techniques and methods but, that is probably more the whim of the producer than from his personal methods of work.

    End of Discussion, ya get my drift?
