hello from the newest member
Hi, there,
my name is Donald Leiper, your newest member. I am a (semi)retired ship's steelwork and outfit draughtsman 73 years old, and most of my life has been spent on ship's steelwork and outfit drawings, although I still managed to fit in about twenty years on platform drawings for the oil industry. I hope this works out as good as it looks

Welcome Don, it will be nice to get a shore based opinion on things naval through close association, so best get your thinking cap on as you will no doubt want to join in both on the technical side and the banter side which at times can be quite lively but never acrimonous
Welcome aboard, enjoy the voyage, Ivan
