I've been seeing Lew Hodgett's references to Bingham's 'Practical Yacht Joinery' for years now. So when I saw a new copy on Amazon marketplace I thought I'd make the $5. investment. Well, this book is everything Lew says it is. Excellent reference material for woodworkers as well as yacht builders. Thanks, Lew.

Thank you, but Bingham did all the work.
Any book that has a chapter, "Happiness is a $5 Table Saw", makes it worth having, IMHO.

Pick up a copy or two of WodenBoat to see some fine examples.
JOAT In the rough is just enough.
Ditto ... I bought a used copy a few years ago on Lew's recommendation and have kept it handy ever since!
Same here.
OK, OK - y'all finally convinced me. I just ordered a copy (finally). Andy
Got one for Christmas...I have yet to get to it. (Still wrestling my way through Universe In A Nutshell.. a little easier after Brief History.)

Specializing in longships?

Well not specializing, but they have covered some fine examples.
JOAT Today's kids have it too easy. For $2.98 they buy a scale model of an atomic submarine. No need to tinker or think! That boys, is where the kick is.
