Just introducing myself..
Hey all. Names Sab. I'm here to learn about building a boat. I'm interested in a glass over wood and figured this would be a great place to start. I've been reading and "lurking" for a while so I decided to jump in and say "Hey". You folks certainly seem knowledgable. Thanks

Sab

Most of us, me especially, just make it up as we go along.

Making it up as you go along is, of course, much easier when you've (seen / been told about / attempted) three dozen different wrong ways of doing it.

Welcome aboard, Sab, I'm sure you'll find this a useful hangout, and certainly among the more civilized corners of the 'Net

Actually we just like to yak a lot. You know the old saying. "If you can't blind them with your brilliance, baffle them with your ********."

Welcome to the club. I hope you are able to learn something from this group.

Hey Sab,

I am in the same position having joined this site a little over an hour ago. Maybe if we follow each other's threads, we can ask dumb questions as if we are speaking a second language and they will think we are smart.
