Wooden Boat Show. Day 2

It's was a serious day looking at wooden boats so we arranged to be there all day, and we needed it, so much to see.

1. This man worked all day cutting wooden fence rails from tree trunks, he worked the axe, adze and the splitting blocks all by himself and by the end of the day I think he must have done 3 trees.
To think that they used these tools to make wooded boats seems remarkable that the workmanship was so fine.

2. This boat was built by one man with recycled timbers, it's for sale. No, not to me.

3. Very skilled man, he did this for hours, just sculling about the harbour.

4. One of the tall ships taking enthusiasts out for a sail.

5. Green woodworking. We thought this meant working with green wood, wrong, it means working with hand/foot generated power. This is a foot lathe, made from wood.


6. Lovely, men's choir singing sea shanties.
