Age 69, Brookings Oregon, USMC veteran, former helicopter pilot, cabinetmaker, boat builder. Builder of handcrafted miniature Viking warships, display case and storage chests.
About 5 years ago I started to build miniature yachts from the wood I obtained from discarded pallets. I built 4 boats all built from scratch and of my own design. Then one day I saw the movie "13th Warrior" which had some really cool Viking ships and I thought "I can build one of those ! That was about 2.5 years ago. Since then I have built 9 Viking ships each one a little better than the last. I have made every mistake possible until now I build them with ease. I also build Viking themed display cases and storage boxes for my warships. I also have started to write a book on how to build miniature Viking ships. I am presently writing a book
