TECHNICAL. "Formerly published as PRACTICAL YACHT JOINERY in 1983. This Revamped Edition, Cprt. 1993. Drawing upon more than 60 years' experience as a boatbuillder/designer, Fred Bingham revamped his classic PRACTICAL YACHT JOINERY in 1993 to appeal to a whole new generation of boaters. This new edition of the book YACHTING, called 'an absolute necessity', is more attuned to the needs of current boaters-and includes all new material on building nautically influenced projects for home or camp. This book is about building things of wood, from a new cup rack to a completely new interior, but it isn't just another project book. Bingham wisely assumes that many people want to be told HOW to perform neat joinerwork, rather than what to build. By starting with a simple task and then proceeding to more ambitious projects, you develop the skills you need to builld practically anything you can envision. Bingham's joinery techniques and hand gimicks (and they appear on nearly every page of the book ) were born of trail and error. Bingham's gift for providing simple expanations for complex problems can transform a rank beginner into a journeyman boat carpenter, and a journeyman into a true craftsman. " A nine-page section, at the back of the book, has drawings and instructions for TRIFFLE, a micro-sloop dinghy 11'6" x 4'6", anyone can build. Hundreds of b/w illustrations-drawings & photos-throughout. Index.
