Hi All,

I will be starting PocketShip construction in a couple of weeks. I have the manual and plans and just have to wrap up a kayak to clear up shop space (and keep the number of under-construction boats down to one at any given time). One of the things that has helped me tremendously (aside from the awesomely comprehensive manual) has been reading all of the builders' blogs out there. I've spent some time combing through the web, and have found these blogs:

Dave: http://pocketshipadventure.blogspot.com/
Arnie: http://arniesark.blogspot.com/
Pascal: http://petitbateaux-boat.blogspot.com/
Bill: http://pocketship.blogspot.com/
Sean: http://buildingpocketship.wordpress.com/
Jeff: http://www.flickr.com/photos/35243545@N02/
Jer: http://gallery.me.com/jermcmanus
And, now, mine: http://leeboatworkspocketship.blogspot.com/

I've probably missed some, so feel free to post additional ones below! By the way, I've read all of the above cover-to-cover and have enjoyed them all!

Looking forward to getting started!

-Jon

Hi Everyone:

I'm starting to come out of winter mothballs. Finishing up some oars I built for my Skerry; then will continue with Pocketship and my blog.

Hey Everyone,
After a long period of studying and dreaming, my Pocketship has been ordered and should be ready to pick up around November 5th. I want to personally thank all of the guys who took the time to document their own personal building journeys through their blogs. And in an effort to pay back those who have given me so much, (I have read them all) I decided to pay it forward and perhaps be of some help to those who will inevitably follow behind me on their own Pocketship journeys. (Although I have no idea what I can possibly add to the great blogs that went before me except the ability to demonstrate mistakes that have never been done before:) :)

That's strange, my blog in your post appears as http://danacolepocketshipbuild.blogspot.co.uk , which still works even though I originally set it up as http://danacolepocketshipbuild.blogspot.com . I guess .com and .co.uk are somehow aliases of each other or have to do with some other Internet weirdness. Anyway, whatever works!
