Very informative and entertaining. Anyone whose ever enjoyed working with their hands would like this book. It's nice to know this type of craftsmanship still exists in America, and that personalities like those contained within can not only survive, but flourish in our right-now disposable society.

Really enjoyed the book but quit after about half way. Would rate higher and would have finished if the author provided just ONE drawing or picture explaining the complex detail of building a wooden boat. Got lost in the details.

One of the most enjoyable books that I have ever read!
