Welcome to the all new Backyard Boatbuilding - John Welsford's Wooden Boats & Builders' Blogs.
If this is your first visit, we recommend you read some of the FAQ pages to learn how to find your way around. Access to some parts of the site is open to the public. However, there is much here that is only available to our members and much is not visible to guests and visitors. Only those invited to join us as members can interact freely with us, set up their own boatbuilding blogs, or post articles, comments, and information here. Please recognize that our members contribute unselfishly to assist other backyard boatbuilders with invaluable information in the form of their build blogs, photos, articles, and personal comments and recommendations. As visitors you are most welcome to browse some parts of the site to get a taste of what is available here. Such access does not in any way affect our members' right to hold and to exercise their intellectual property rights, nor does it imply that copyright has been assigned to this website or to the public domain. This is why non-members cannot freely access the entire site. It is also the reason for us being a little selective as to who we allow to join us as registered members. If you would like to become a member, we cordially invite you to click on the 'Contact Us' link at the foot of any page and provide the information requested in the Membership Application option there. Membership is, of course, FREE!
