I recently purchased "KayakCraft" and found it to be an excellent complementary book to Nick Schade's "The Strip-Built Sea Kayak". Very little is actually repetitive from the earlier book, and it describes different building methods and systems.
The finishing and joinery techniques described will help the builder make a really professional craft.
Moore's instructions are such that the builder does not have to skimp on quality, or take shortcuts in the finished product; rather, the techniques described will allow the builder to build a quality kayak, efficiently.
The published test-panel failures for different thicknesses and materials are helpful in determining tradeoffs between the different layups.
This book is a must in any kayak builder's library. Very well written with clear comments on each stage of kayak construction, supplemented with excellent photographs. In addition, one can find in this book a detailed instruction on the stapleless kayak construction method and a miriad of practical tips on, among others, strongback assembly, sanding techniques, decorative methods of stripping and so on. A wealth of author's experiences talk through the pages. There is one feature of this book that makes it different from other books on kayak construction. The method of construction described allows one to build a kayak completely in two parts (hull and deck, inside and outside) and join them as the very last step by a simple glueing method. I built my first kayak using a different method and ended up with a pain in the neck and lower back supplemented by contortionist's skills while trying to finish the work inside the joined deck and hull.
While there is no book that tells everything on kayak construction this one comes close as an excellent reference for a novice and experienced builders alike.
As a suplementary reading, I would strongly recomment another book by Ted Moores "Canoecraft" with its excellent coverage of wood stripping and, in particular,fiberglassing techniques.
I don't know how anybody could go wrong buying this book ! I purchased Ted's first book Canoecraft way back in 1983 and it's covers are well worn a great book .It was the definative book at its time and I feel that Kayak Craft is the same today . If someone isn't able to build a kayak from this book ,then they aren't trying or shouldn't be trying .
I built several canoes with Ted's fist book and never bought a plan ever .
If you read thuroughly and pay attention it won't be hard.
Don't be afraid of this book . I'm glad I bought it the only way that this book could be better for me is if the very numerous and professional pictures were color . This is a very thorough book with nothing missing .
good
I enjoyed this book and helped with explaining pro's n con's and methods and types of wood. Explained benefits of thickness, etc....
I look forward to making Strip Kayaks and having great times out in opens waters in Alaska....
