Hello,
My name is Mark Reuten. I'm a wooden boatbuilder by trade which seems to go hand in hand with making a lot of my own tools. I was invited to drop some of my pertinent videos here on the forum. Hope y'all enjoy them.

Not trying to be all self promoty but for your interest you can see some the stuff I do on my website.

Thanks for having me.

Hi Mark - welcome to HomemadeTools.net

Excellent website; feel free to add a link to it in your forum signature, so it will show with all of your posts. I have a long-term dream of cruising and voyaging. I'm currently making my way through Beth Leonard's classic The Voyager's Handbook.

Thanks Jon. I'll plug an interesting read for you. Sailing Uphill by Sam McKinny. It's about inland voyaging. Cool old dude who left a strong impression on me when he came knocking at my door years ago. Passed away unfortunately.

Thanks, added to my wishlist. I'm always working on a tall stack of books, but the sailing ones are usually my favorites.

Hello, Mark and welcome. I've never built a boat before. I've wanted to plank out a canoe but haven't gotten around to it yet. Nice website! You're quite the craftsman!
