Great Book.,

This review is from: Frame, Stem, and Keel Repair (Woodenboat Series) (Paperback)
For those of us who are not professional wooden boat builders this is an excellent book. Assuming that each boat repair we would make has a number of variables that are possible, including time and budget restraints, then this book is an invaluable collection of articles by professionals contemplating and then making those same repairs. I also purchased and referenced heavily while making repairs the Planking and Fastening book as well and highly recommend a thorough reading of both before you begin your repairs. Good luck!

This review is from: Frame, Stem, and Keel Repair (Woodenboat Series) (Paperback)
I have used the Woodenboat Series publications in conjunction with woodworking and boat building seminars, and find they compliment the course work well and usually provide additional information. I am not experienced enough to use these manuals without a seminar presentation, but I think experienced boat builders could use these as stand-alone instruction.

Where to start....,
By A Customer
This review is from: Frame, Stem, and Keel Repair (Woodenboat Series) (Paperback)
For anyone contemplating buying an old (or newer) wooden boat, this book should be required reading. It provides the basic understanding of how wooden boats are constructed and details repair and restoration of the heart of the wooden boat. The book is written for both the novice and experienced boat owner.
