2. TIPS
Many people get stuck when they start building
because they have decided on a design that was
too difficult for them from the beginning. Before
you start building you need to make sure that
you are capable of finishing the project.
If you buy a book you may find that there is a
difficulty rating system. But you should also
make sure to just read through the design to see
if you understand all of the steps. If it looks
confusing, then it probably is.
3. TIPS
You also need to make sure that your design will
yield the right project. Many people buy designs
from unreliable sources, and in turn they get half
complete wooden boat plans.
You need to make sure that your plans are
accurate and complete. The best way to do this
is to find out if other people have used the
designs. Try to see how their projects have
turned out and what they have to say about their
wooden boat plans.
4. TIPS
You should also look for plans that offer
variations. Finding a design that offers different
solutions to one problem can assure you that
you have found a comprehensive guide.
Also, when looking to build a certain type of
vessel, see if you can find multiple designs for
the project. The more information you have, the
easier it will be for you to find answers and
improvise around your problems.
