After looking at a few samples on the Alberg site I decided to try
my own. The first test was a failure because of cracking in the bends. The
second test turned out fine. It has eleven layers of mahogany cut at 3/16"
on the table saw. This was made with simple tools, table saw, belt sander
and band saw to cut the stainless hinges. If anyone has any questions or
would like the blank for bending or the pine tiller to experiment with just
let me know.

This Old Boat
by Don Casey
Subtitled "turn a rundown fiberglass boat into a
first-class yacht on a shoestring budget," this book is the best
introduction I know boat maintenance for the new or prospective owner
of a "modern classic" sailboat. Starting with guidelines
for selecting a boat, Casey proceeds to fiberglass repairs, cabin and
deckwork, spars and rigging, boat equipment, woodwork, electrical,
plumbing, refrigeration, painting, canvas work and sails. All of this
is described in clear, simple terms perfect for the inexperienced.
This is the book that taught me fiberglass work. But don't let it
fool you; this book is appropriate for experienced boatowners, too.
I still refer to it.
