Boatbuilding with Steel

Sinopse

Including Boatbuilding with Aluminum by Thomas Colvin

This book is a thorough discussion of the use of steel for building small boats, both yachts and working craft. The advice is both practical and theoretical you will find information on how to build steel boats; what constitutes quality workmanship in metal boatbuilding; the various types of steel and their applications; the problems of electrolysis and corrosion, and their control; and many welding and cutting techniques.
Though the use of steel for boatbuilding is the primary emphasis of this book, a separate chapter on aluminum has been provided as a basis for comparison. The discussion of aluminum, though brief, parallels the discussion of steel.
