From My Old
Boat Shop is volume II of the Elliott Bay Classics, a series of
the essential, hard-to-find
texts for the boat builder.From My Old Boat Shop is the single
most useful book the boat builder can
own. Anyone building a steam, electric, or any boat of any era
- or of any material - will end up with a
better boat by reading Farmer.
Copies of
the previous edition are now rare. This new edition is larger
in format and contains a
new Introduction, "Remembering Westy," by David Getchell,
editor National Fisherman. Farmer was
editor of such magazines as Mechanix Illustrated and How to Build
30 Boats, and wrote hundreds of
articles between 1919 and 1981. This book is a compilation of
articles that Farmer, master writer
and designer, wrote for National Fisherman. More than fifty line
drawings & offsets are pictured,
ready to build. Indexed.
Contains wonderful
information on early one-lung engines.
