DESCRIPTION:
Be sure! Joshua Paul Werblin I made the mistake of purchasing this book because I was curious about Baltek products and how to use them. I think you can get that kind of information for free elsewhere (on the web or from Baltek).HOWEVER, if you will be building a boat out of that materal, and you are sure of it, it appeared to be a very thorough explanation of the subject, and is likely a reference such a builder would really need to make the most of this material.. "Great book on a time-saving process." according to Jeffrey Zoeller. This book fully explains the Baltek method of boat building. The method is a real time saver over standard cold-molded planking methods and it results in a stronger hull. The method allows for construction of all hull shapes using ordinary tools. Check this out if you are considering new methods for boatbuilding.`. Merle said Book content worthwhile. Book condition was very good.The content had some useful details but was not the a step-by-step manual suggested by the title. Without having read from other sources I could not build a craft from this book. Even so, I'm glad of my purchase.
