One man's eight-year effort to build a wooden ship by hand

Screenshot, of Johah Eaton's 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, who's been building a 42' wooden schooner.
Some of Jonah's comments on the vid will resonate with builders of our much littler Somes Sound:
 "There's no right angles [in boatbuilding]; everything's constantly curving and shifting around on you..."
"Building a wooden boat is about as hard as it gets"
Thanks to PS for the link.
