2:31 Yes, I am interested in you making a video of three different models. You have my vote!

Finally, a doorway into this hobby! I’ve watched countless build videos, all excellent, however no real beginners information. Thank you.

[stevenkeogh]

Yes please make the 3 videos as it will help me out as I am a complete retired beginner.

[joshualopez]

thank you for this, i have been struggling to get into wooden ship modeling and some of these tools i never even thought of.

[nevdekryger]

yes please I would like to see the three ship build

Nice video. I’ve been modeling - airplanes and ships - for 45 years and your suggestions are spot on. I even learned a new trick with the modified bulldog clamps for holding planks. Brilliant. Old dogs can learn new tricks every day. I’ll look for your other vids. Keep it up. Cheers from the Chihuahuan Desert Boat Yard, Las Cruces, New Mexico, USA.

Thanks for your videos Your suggestion on comparing 3 kits is excellent I would watch it with great interest

[johnmoore]

Yes please do the model videos. Please lower or remove the music though so we can hear you better. Great video!

[sarumano]

Nice video, thank you. I have done ship-building, and I've evolved much the same set of tools. The only thing I would add as an "essential" is a SIX-inch steel ruler, as well as the foot ruler. They fit into smaller gaps.

[Isaactalley]

Definitely interested in the build process

[tonycorvair]

Yes, please do the 3 models. Thank you sir

[xenaines]

Yes do the 3 models. That will be very interesting.

[GregWilson]

Great video Grant. Here I am over the other side of the world and I have all the same tools.
I woold like to see you compare the 3 ships. It's amazing how much difference there is between manufacturers.

[martinaalderink]

Again, nice presentation. It may be usefull to compare models of different brands, but i like to see building in general anyway. Always something there i didn`t think of myself.

[Erny_Module]

Excellent video!
I think the 3 kits from different manufacturers is a great idea - I'm sure each company does things differently - would be great to see their various approaches.

[richardweiner]

Yes, the comparison would be interesting.

[wolfgangzinn]

It is astonishing that all shipbuilders use exactly the same equipment worldwide, regardless of each other.

[JAFKARNAT]

It would be nice to see the comparison between the three kits, especially the instructions. Personally I love OcCre, their build videos are very helpful.

[williamault]

Yes please I’d like to see the three kits side by side.
