Learn to build boats from plywood!

There are two books I consult for plywood boat construction. They are Instant Boats, and the follow-up, Build the New Instant Boats. In this volume, you will find chapters on selecting proper tools, some general advice on construction, and a chapter which displays via photographs, the construction of one of the 7 boat projects featured within. The projects themselves, are mainly sailboats, and a kayak. I have built one sailboat and the kayak featured in this highly useful tome.
