Hey Dan = Do have any ship building experience?
Well - you can sure gain some locally there in Tulsa!!!
I pretty regularly fall into Youtube Tunnels == Recently - Sailing Vessels and youtube Channels . Lots of streams and videos from all around the world and those adventures that accompany Sailing a ship!
Fell into this Sailing Vessel -- SV Seeker. YES this guy is BUILDING A SHIP in Tulsa.... an ALL STEEL = WORKING SHIP.

Its an interesting watch overall in my option he invites people from ALL OVER to come help = and build this ship... and it is presented in the way that you can understand WHY and how... By Amateurs....
Dan = Ride out give these guys some welding lessons!!!
Wow that's really cool! I had no idea that was going on out here. Maybe I should invite people out to weld on my minis all day long!
As a whole - One video explains - He's an IT Programmer by day and realized he was wasting his life in an office and IT programming or such not doing anything or learning anything. Still works to get paid - but all the $$ is for building this ship! He plans when finished to put it in the Ocean and serve as a service vessel for needed assistance on other Ocean research vessels.
Has a nice place just outside of town in a working class neighborhood- right down the street from the STEEL distributor (how convenient) in a very Working class neighborhood he does what he pleases, and this ship is being constructed.
Cool concept. Come help for free and make new friends.
Funny enough I do have a "mini tenant" this summer. There will be a post soon. But I do like the idea of folks coming out to work on various projects under my supervision...while I grill and drink beer.
