Hello everyone! I'm Don McDermott, a boatbuilder on the River Thames in England. In 2025, I began building a historic wooden sailing vessel: Lady Garnet, the first Norfolk Trading Wherry to be built since 1912. Follow along as I lay the oak keel, set up the station moulds and steam the oak planking!
