Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great book, fast service!
Who could ask for more? We are well on our way to building the perfect kayak for our needs!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good book
This is a good book, very informative, more techincal than Nick Schade (bought both at the same time). This and Schade's book go very well together.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Another class act
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.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A neat book and an overly neat kayak builder!
This book is a pretty comprehensive and helpful overview of wood strip kayak building, although for my liking the designs are pretty dated. There are more modern building methods around, but this is a solid treatment of the subject nevertheless. The author would have to be the neatest builder I have ever seen, alternatively all the shots are staged. I cannot believe someone keeps his workshop so clean and neat!!
