Your friendly neighbor hood squid here. I have been in the navy for 18 years and I have always built wooden ships. I started looking at a saw to cut out parts for my boats and saw some patterns, and as a buddy of mine says it was down the rabbit hole from there. I havent bought a saw yet I am still looking around, but I am loking at the 30' Excalibur. I learned a long time ago its cheaper to buy once than buy twice, but I am not sure I need the extra depth on the throat. I am in Va Beach and I am looking forward to getting started.
