Drawing upon more than 60 years' experience as a boatbuilder and designer, Fred Bingham has revamped his classic Practical Yacht Joinery to appeal to a whole new generation of boaters.

This new edition of the book Yachting magazine called "an absolute necessity" not only is more attuned to the needs of boaters of today—and includes all-new material on building nautically-influenced projects for home or camp.

This book is about building things of wood, from a new cup rack to a completely new interior, but it isn't just another project book. Bingham wisely assumes that many people want to be told how to perform neat joinerwork rather than what to build. By starting with a simple task, such as cleat, deck box, or even a tool box, and then proceeding to more ambitious projects, you develop the skills you need to build practically anything you can envision.

Bingham's joinery techniques and handy gimmicks (and they appear on nearly every page of the book) where born of trial and error; he provides realistic alternative procedures for many of the projects, telling how to make them by Method A, Method B, and Method C.

As thousands of readers of Practical Yacht Joinery discovered, Bingham's gift for providing simple explanations for complex problems can transform a rank beginner who has never held a hammer into a journeyman boat carpenter, and a journeyman carpenter into a true craftsman.
