Port Townsend in Washington State as someone mentioned, has a great school for wood boat building. They can't accept all of the applications that they receive each year. It may be a slowed down art, but it's not a dead art!!

Inside a workshop at the Wooden Boat Institute, Deer Isle, Maine, these craftsmen painstakingly restore aged boats from another era. What will happen to their craft when this generation is no longer with us?
In answer to your question, most people won't notice. There will always be those, with dwindling numbers, who will cherish what the last generation left for them. Just enjoy the present.
Very nice picture you posted!

Have been following Leo from very near the beginning. He has had some very good mentors and he knows how to think a problem thru to a viable solution, and he also knows when he is in over his head and how and when to ask for help. He also has become a mentor to the folks who have been volunteers on the Talley Ho project. Those are the future of wooden boats from restorations, to maintaining and to new construction. I hope am around to see the splash. Cliff

Cliff,
I found about Leo, from another forum and started watching his videos, after a few, I wanted to see from the beginning, so I have been watching from the beginning, to where I am now at video #103, few more to catch up on... You are spot on about his abilities and capabilities...
Looking forward to the rest...

Yep, when trying to play catch-up from the beginning on a long running thread, it takes a while 20 minutes at a time. Thanks for the reply. Happy watching Cliff
