Make Way Projects
Videos about boatbuilding and woodworking and everything you need to know to follow along. I hope to show you sailing videos too once the sailboat is done. The first project is to build a 20 foot catamaran sailboat in an average size two-car garage. The boat is being built with marine plywood and fiberglass so you can expect many woodworking videos too.
