This book is jam packed with photos showing just what you can achieve with a bare hull. Each photo is accompanied by text describing how it is done. The writer writes in a plain style that is easy to understand and uses only tools that a normal well stocked handyman shed already contains. Each chapter takes a item and produces a step-by-step guide to how the finished article is obtained. The list of chapters below is a list of the projects undertaken.
