There are a lot of things that new ship builders need to learn - many of which have no parallel in other hobbies. Some things I've just learned the hard way by trying different approaches until I found one that worked for me. Some were simply learned from other modelers.

My intent here is to pass on some of the techniques I use for various tasks. They work for me. Perhaps they will work for you. Not a lot here at the moment, but check back from time to time to see if I've added more.

• Adhesives
• Blackening Brass
• Making Shackles
• Stropping Blocks
• Making Small Hooks
• Making a Ship's Ladder
• Making Wooden Baskets
