Following chapters on selection, tools, and materials, the author moves to the practical application of the model-making procedures involved in producing high-quality age-of-sail ships. A chapter on techniques summarizes procedures such as planking, rigging, and fitting out, all of which are described, in varied and specific detail, Novice builders and old hands alike have found a wealth of useful information in these pages.
