Dated, so many better options available--,

This review is from: Practical Boat Building for Amateurs (Paperback)
At its best, this is a period piece. But for the beginning boat builder it is not one I would recommend. As one who has built a boat and am building a second, there are a number of other titles that deliver a more satisfying and beneficial read. The information though authentic is dated. Browse Woodenboat Magazine's Bookstore site and examine their numerous titles there before purchasing this option. For a title from the same time period, I heartily recommend: How to Build Wooden Boats: With 16 Small-Boat Designs (Paperback)available here at Amazon.

A must for those who wish to attempt a project of this nature,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Practical Boat Building for Amateurs (Paperback)
Boat building is one craft nearly as old as humanity itself. "Practical Boat Building for Amateurs" is designed as a starters guide for do-it-yourself craftsmen who want to create their own seaworthy small boat of varying sizes and capacities. Realistic in viewing the skills of amateurs, Neison and Kemp outline the step by step process readers need to know before embarking on this endeavor. An expertly written craftsman's guide, "Practical Boat Building" is a must for those who wish to attempt a project of this nature.
