    As a professional shipwright with power tools, I have a lot of respect for what they're doing. It is hard to fathom the amount of work required to build something like this. Thousands and thousands of hours by dozens of men.

    The passion of the Dhow owner and the Pakistani builders is so remarkable, and what makes Dhow building an art.

    I saw working Dhows in the Indian Ocean in the 70's. I was taken aback, did a double take, when one day I saw a red Camaro sports car On the bow being transported!

    I love your videos, I know short videos make a big impact, but I wish they were longer with more of everything. Want longer videos maybe like ten minutes.

    Hey everyone, the greatest info that I have had was by following the Mikes Sweat Blog (i found it on google) - without a doubt the most useful idea i've tried.
