a decent read so far, though I'm still not out of the tools section. I think it covers three whole chapters, which is aggravating. What I would prefer is the author to give an overview of the whole subject, then divide subsequent chapters from simple tasks that can be accomplished with a minimum of tools to the more complex tasks that require specialized tools. That way the reader doesn't suffer on a long tool list.

Ok I'm FINALLY out of the tool section! My impression of the book so far is a mumbling. rambling explanation from an experienced woodworker who can't tell what direction his lesson is going. He's certainly detailed in his explanations, but the text is exhausting and has almost nothing to do with actual boat joinery. I accept the necessity of a tools section, but this is way too much.
