This book is aimed at people with no experience who want to build a small wooden boat with epoxy. It's been written by someone who not only has a lifetime of experience of boat building, but has obviously spent a lot of time helping beginners.

It's a fairly slim book that won't take long to read, but it's packed with large colour photos that show you what you should be aiming for. There are easy to follow instructions, and lots of tips that will save you wasting expensive materials and help you avoid creating a sticky mess.

It's not an exhaustive guide to everything you can do with epoxy, but it does cover everything you will need to do while building a small boat, and should give a beginner the confidence to get started.
