Boatbuilding Guide: Complete Handbook for Wooden Boat Construction | DIY Wooden Boat Plans & Techniques for Beginners to Experts

While this book - often described as a "classic" - is not an easy book, it is also a wonderful book for anyone who is interested in wooden boats and building or repairing wooden boats. i liked this book for two major reasons. The first is easy to understand - it is one of the great books written by one of the great builders. The second reason is more bizarre. I love the style of a past generation. The writing style, the structure of the written page is a thing of beauty. This also means that a new generation brought up on gr8 txt will find this too complicated to understand. I would heartiy recommend that such a person do buy this book - not only will you have the advice on repairing or creating your wooden boat, but your language skills will have been developed further.
