Not for novices
I’m new to wooden boat building. I have taken one course at the Lowell Boat Shop in Amesbury MA in November 2022. I do have some wood-building experience. I found the book on lofting very technical using many terms that were unfamiliar to me. While there were definitions for some of the terms some of those didn’t help my understanding of the word I was trying to understand. Is the another book available that might help me with the terminology used in wooden boat building?

"Lofting" by Allan Vaitses
Not done reading the book, but so far a complex subject very clearly and simply presented. I feel very fortunate this book is my starting point into the world of lifting and hopefully boat-biilding.
Thank you for advertising it in a recent newsletter/email notification.
Regards,
Peter

Lofting for a Beginner
I have always wanted to figure out how to loft a boat as a challenge. When I saw the book “Lofting” I figured this was what I was looking for. And it turned out to be just what I was looking for. Easy enough to understand and yet covers all of the important facets of lofting. I am looking forward to when I have the opportunity to try out my new found knowledge.
