This is one of the first books I bought when I started work on Mignonne.

Although I wasn’t building from scratch the wealth of detail and information on carvel construction proved to be immensely valuable.

The book illustrates with extensive photographs and drawings the process of carvel construction.

It also shows that wooden boat building skills can be easily learned by anyone, there is nothing mysterious about them.

The updated and expanded version of ‘Details of Classic Boat Construction’ include an important new appendix on the miss-advertising of epoxy adhesives and an introduction to superior, though less expensive glues.

This book is used by boatbuilding schools around the world to explain the elements of classic craftsmanship and make these skills accessible to beginning woodworkers.
