Yeah, I remember many years ago, back in 7th or 8th grades my friend's dad built a small cabin cruiser from scratch in their basement (yes ala NCIS Gibbs). He bult the entire thing of mahogany, he was a tool and die maker and made every piece of brightwork, and cleats himself from brass, hand steamed, fitted and pegged every board, the framework, name it. The only thing he did not make was the Evinrude motor and it's control system. Once all fitted and built he disassembled it board by board, and rebuilt it again on a trailer. It was a gorgeous boat
