This is Mr. Bill hard at work restoring one of his great grandfather's wooden ship models , U.S. Cadet, for his mother's maid-of-honor who had to either throw it out or find someone like me to fix it. I've now refurbished about 11 of my great grandfather's ships. Every one of them has come to me in a very sad condition; dusty, broken, and forgotten (found in a closet or attic). They are beautiful works of art and once I restore one this becomes evident.
