About Me

Living a Life Focused on Building Ships

Hi, my name is Adam. When I was kid, I loved building things such as tree houses and toy boats. However, I always felt a little sad because I didn't have anyone to help me. Instead of helping me build actual things, my dad was an investor. Money was everything to him, and building things with his hands was worthless. Ultimately, I turned full circle, and as an adult, I became a ship builder. I love ships, I love working with my hands, and this blog is dedicated to those ideas. Please explore, and enjoy learning about ship building! I hope your questions get answered here, and I thank you for reading.
