Boatbuilding sheets translated into English

All my plan packages includes a set of "boatbuilding sheets" giving instructions on "how to" using epoxy, scarfing plywood panels, making laminated frames, planking a hull with strips or clinker plywood, making masts and spars, etc... These sheets are coming from a book writen in French "Construction bois les techniques modernes". Until now, I did not found time to translate all these sheets into English but of course I intend to do it and even improve them. In the meantime, a builder of Meaban, Geodino Carpio Ding, living in the Philippines, has made an English version using an automatic translation tool and incorporating the pictures. This may help other builders and this document may be downloaded.
