QuakeCity is an unknown quantity at this point
Yea I'd love to give it a go I’ve wanted to for years but have no really need. I guess if I knew someone who was building a boat and needed help I’d be up for the challenge.
I'm a carpenter by trade, done three years at Randwich Institute of Technology Sydney, Carpentry & Joinery and worked as a sheet metal worker in my youth, I guess you guys would call that a metal fabricator.
If I had the right gear plus drawings why not, if I can build a house a boat or ship couldn’t be any harder.
Here in Au their still called shipwrights no matter what material is used in the construction, as long as you got a certificate from a similar Institute which I attended. But mostly the term shipwright would lead you to think they work with timber.
