Description

A lavishly illustrated, user-friendly guide for novices and experienced boat builders alike, The Canoe Shop provides plans and building instructions for three graceful and rugged touring canoes―a 12-foot double-paddle canoe, a 14-foot solo canoe, and a 16-foot tandem boat―that virtually anyone can build directly from the book. Following the same critically acclaimed format found in his classic, The New Kayak Shop, leading North American boat designer Chris Kulczycki walks readers through the entire building process for each boat. One standout feature of The Canoe Shop is a revolutionary, simplified approach to lapstrake construction which makes this traditional technique―considered by many to be the finest method of wooden boat construction―available to amateurs for the first time.- Features three original designs from one of the most respected small-boat designers- Contains dozens of illustrations and step-by- step building instructions Read more

    • Was exactly as Described
I received this slightly used book within two days after payment even though shipping said 5-10 days. It was exactly as it was described, wrapped in plastic and even though it said used it looked like it was nearly brand new. As far as content anyone who know the author knows this is a great book. The directions are easy to understand and the pictures fill in any blanks you may have. Because this is a slightly older book I do recommend that you check on the web for updates to the lofting charts. On a boat builders forum I found there was a mistake in the lofting charts for the 16 footer but since I am building the 12 it was no big deal. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to build a lapstroke canoe. I further highly recommend Amazon as the place to buy it. They re the best in the industry, hands down!! ... show more

    • Stitch and Glue meets Lapstrake = Lapstitch
Well written book about building lapstrake canoes by the originator of Chesapeake Light Craft. The designs in the book are early designs from that company. He writes from vast experience and covers every detail. He uses a method called by him "lapstitch", which is lapstrake construction with stitch and glue technique on the edges of the planks. ... show more
