About this product

Product Information

For the economical do-it-yourselfer who wants to build his or her own skiff, this instruction manual relies on simple techniques and hand-powered tools and shows how to make a boat in a minimum amount of time. Start your flatiron skiff in the spring and be on the water by summer. Boat-building instructor K. D. Jones explains his "Thoreau Approach," which involves learning to trust your instincts like craftsmen of centuries past as you use your eyes and hands to build simple, elegant, functional boats. The book includes lists of recommended tools and accessories, design variations, instructional photographs and drawings, and a little history about this under-appreciated type of boat, named for its resemblance in shape to an antique cast-iron press. The use of these traditional methods and of local materials not only reduces construction costs but also prevents exposure to toxic adhesives and solvents.

During the course of a long midwestern winter, Doug Jones guided an enthusiastic group of wooden boat building students on a journey we'll not soon forget. Without the constraint of formal plans, we used inexpensive lumberyard materials, and hand tools to create two fine boats. The axiom "if she's eye sweet, she'll sail sweet" inspired us to build a pretty rowboat and handsome sailboat. Captain Doug shared his extensive boat building knowledge and methods. I can heartily endorse his approach to boat building offered by this fine gentleman. - John Masella, Montreal, Canada, June 16, 2014

Shipping was fast but no tracking and worst packaging ever.. like the box came banged up... send a question to seller never had a reply 😅.... Good product overall, excellent price, fast shipping, wrapped only on 4 sides out of 6, no tracking and never reply... 4★ product / 2★ seller ✌️

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
