Again DIY Sunday bring you plans for a project that
in all honestly might take you a little longer than a
Sunday afternoon. On the other hand, a houseboat
might last you for the rest of your life. Vacation
after vacation spent on lovely floating
living quarters you have built yourself.

Imagine that. Houseboat in a day…would it be seaworthy?

It would depend on your skills as a carpenter of course 😉

I come from a family where there has been builders and cabinetmakers since medieval times so the skills are in my genes 😉

What a wonderful family tradition! But you decided on another career path, didn’t you?

I chose graphic design, illustration and calligraphy. But I’m a very competent carpenter/cabinetmaker and love working with wood 🙂

There is a natural attraction to timber in me as well. I have a timber home – lots of timber furniture and objects. ( some tell me it reminds them of a norsk hytte!!) I love the warm, earthy tones that timber provides. I am not a fan of the cold sterile, neutral tones. My husband, whilst not a carpenter, like you, enjoys making various things. There is a bit of a dynasty of carpenters in his family too. My children won’t be carrying on that tradition either – one is a musician and the other two are in IT even though the IT guru could make anything out of wood in his school days. I still use quite a few of the tables/ boxes he made. Carpentry is such a useful life skill for young people to have I do hope they keep teaching it in schools and at home.

And there is a continuance in working in wood that fascinates me. People have been making thing out of wood since the neolithic age.

Yes. It is as old as civilisation, even older perhaps?
