Half-Hull Modeling: Step-by-step companion, from plans to finished model

Being a shipwright i wanted to start making half models. Been a while but a great deal of info.

Straight forward basic info. that is easy to follow.

Book was thin but information was there plus the hard to find description of a 1939 published article (by Mr. Bertram Booth) about making a simple device designed to take lines from a model. This device was the main reason the book was purchased.The book is skimpy on the larger topic of lofting. The author's book, 'Building Small Boats', covers the topic of lofting a great detail.

I had hoped to geht some sample plans

Abbastanza deludente , niente di più di quello che si può trovare in un qualsiasi tutorial su YouTube.

Since the 50's have carved a few half models. It was interesting to see the differences in methods. A lot of the models I carved were free form, that is there were no model or plans. The shape came from my mind. Otherwise the methods and techniques follow the way I do models.
