Ronald, actually I would venture to say that we agree on many things. Occasionally we all "hit that little bump in the road". Life's not perfect.
I use our sewing machine often. I used it on sails as well as Civil War tents and uniforms, as well as other clothing. My wife asks me to do sewing for her as well. Must be that mechanical instinct in me. I hope I don't get mislabeled because of this.

My work uses the occasional printed item, but generally itโs hand made. I am fortunate to have a small lathe, and other woodworking equipment, plus a public library with laser cutting equipment and 3D printing machines if needed, they also have sewing machines that I used to make sails.

I agree with both you.
First, craftsmanship is the goal. Next is time and resources. You can't make everything with a carving knife so that is where a variety of tools comes in. These are the resources the builder has. More is better but there is a cutoff and that is cost, space, and ability.
My build used a variety build methods. So tools typically are hand tools, powered, and 3D printing. One other is purchased parts. Where I worked as an equipment designer it was "buy before make" (unless one can justify the cost.).

Yeep Ronald, Good craftsmanship is still better than plastic parts. It's more work, but then again, as retirees, we have plenty of time! Yes, if you're impatient, you have to switch to 3D. But with my wood laser, I can't get too carried away! To each his own... right? Good crafting, Michel-C-

Hey there guys, my wife and I were really looking forward to seeing the workshop at Edmundโs place. Instead we learned little about how he builds or where? What he told us was that he uses free TinkerCAD and 3D printing. Several of the models were made sometime ago in the school workshop from what I gathered. He showed us the anchor winch he made and the 24 funnels all with TinkerCAD.
Yes, I know some of you use 3D printers and I have known skilled workers who use a metal lathe to make their parts.
The hulls are fibreglass which fibres are visible if you zoom in on the photo No hulls were frame and plank.
The majority of fittings, railings, and other parts are from a printer.
He sent me a file to try printing railings. He said he had made a stack of them in just a 15 minutes. (See the last two photos)
