An online portfolio, introduction.

I am currently a student at IBTC Portsmouth, studying traditional wooden boatbuilding. It is an incredible place to study. The course has stretched me in ways I thought impossible and introduced me to some amazing techniques. This blog is an attempt to produce an easily accessible portfolio of my work, of which I am very proud.

I also have some history with steel boatbuilding, I live on board an old harbour tug which I rebuilt, with a lot of help! The skills I learned enabled me to gain employment as a steel fabricator and welder and I spent some time plating various river vessels. I will endeavour to include pictures of this work here too.

I often say ‘if I can’t saw it in half, sharpen it, or oil it- I’m in big trouble’. This is a long and lighthearted way of saying that I’m not particularly computer savvy, so please bear with me and I will try to keep this portfolio well updated.
