One mans eight year effort to build a wooden ship by hand

Screenshot, of Johah Eatons build.  Video here.
An occasional reader of this blog, local mate in Discovery Bay here in Hong Kong, sends me a link to this site, a short video of a Jonah Eaton, whos been building a 42 wooden schooner.
Some of Jonahs comments on the vid will resonate with builders of our much littler Somes Sound:
 "Theres no right angles [in boatbuilding]; everythings constantly curving and shifting around on you..."
"Building a wooden boat is about as hard as it gets"
Thanks to PS for the link.
