Copious graphics are used to illustrate and clarify many of the processes you will encounter when building a S&T vessel.
The DVD includes interviews with real life home builders who pass on their tips and suggestions for success in building your boat.
The second volume, due for release in May/June 2008, will cover fitting out the hull, making spars, laminating, and then finishing the boat.

This DVD is a really good "how
to" visual resource on the ins and outs of stitch and tape
boatbuilding. Alec Jordan takes us step by step through the process right
from understanding the plans and choosing the materials to use to how to
stitch and tape neatly and without gluing yourself to the garage floor.
Punctuating the various stages of the process examples of home built
projects and interviews with the builders, are used making a well balanced
and informative resource. |

Several of these chapters have excellent graphics to illustrate the important points and I suspect Alec’s careful explanation on aligning the loosely-tied hull will be consulted more than once... ..nor is it a protracted advertisement for
Jordan Boats' kits;
other than a brief clip of the
computer-controlled router cutter in
action, they hardly get a mention. |
