Böcker av William Picard Stephens

This vintage book is a complete guide to canoe and boat construction designed for amateurs, with information on tools and equipment, designing, materials, common problems, and much more. Written in simple language and profusely illustrated, this book constitutes a must-have for novice boat builders, and would make for a fantastic addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: ¿Introduction¿, ¿Designing¿, ¿Model Making¿, ¿Laying Down¿, ¿Methods of Building¿, ¿Tools and Materials¿, ¿Building¿, ¿Wells¿, ¿Aprons¿, ¿Paddles¿, ¿Sails and Rigging¿, ¿Centerboards¿, ¿Rudders¿, ¿Tabernacles¿, ¿Tents and Beds¿, ¿Stoves and Lamps¿, ¿Canvas Canoes¿, ¿Boat Building¿, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on building boats.
