Complete Canvasworker's Guide How to Outfit Your Boat With Fabric

These days the canvas we work is likely to be a synthetic fiber, superior to its natural-fiber predecessor in most every way. Today, the average canvasworker's fingers are not like marlinspikes, nor, if you have a good ordinary sewing machine, do they need to be. Canvaswork is unchanged in one sense, though: It can result in an almost endless variety of attractive and functional gear for a boat. The old tars would have envied what we can turn out today. "The Complete Canvasworker's Guide" is a thorough, step-by-step introduction to making all common items of canvas boat gear. This is more than an idea book. All the instructions are here, in a straightforward, no-frills format developed by Jim Grant, to answer the needs of canvasworking students and mail-order customers. This new edition, expanded by fifty percent, is thoroughly updated and revised, with many new illustrations.Grant, Jim is the author of 'Complete Canvasworker's Guide How to Outfit Your Boat With Fabric' with ISBN 9780877423355 and ISBN 0877423350.
