Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These days the canvas we work is likely to be a synthetic fiber, superior to its natural-fiber predecessor in most every way. Today, the average canvasworker's fingers are not like marlinspikes, nor, if you have a good ordinary sewing machine, do they need to be. Canvaswork is unchanged in one sense, though: It can result in an almost endless variety of attractive and functional gear for a boat. The old tars would have envied what we can turn out today. "The Complete Canvasworker's Guide" is a thorough, step-by-step introduction to making all common items of canvas boat gear. This is more than an idea book. All the instructions are here, in a straightforward, no-frills format developed by Jim Grant, to answer the needs of canvasworking students and mail-order customers. This new edition, expanded by fifty percent, is thoroughly updated and revised, with many new illustrations.

This book was released on 1992-05-22 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a new edition of a reader-tested book that has been universally praised for its concise, commonsense instructions and clear illustrations. The Complete Canvasworker's Guide has led countless boatowners through outfitting projects from boat covers to ditty bags to bimini tops to windcatchers. Now completely revised and updated, and expanded by more than fifty percent, The Complete Canvasworker's Guide, Second Edition, brings you Jim Grant's thorough step-by-step approach to constructing a nearly endless variety of attractive and functional gear for your boat. Grant, with his wife, Connie, has taught sailmaking and canvaswork for more than 20 years, and he brings an often intimidating craft within the grasp and budget of anyone from an all-thumbs beginner to a would-be professional. Forget that canvas always used to be made of cotton. Today it is far more commonly woven of synthetic fibers: acrylic, polyester, or nylon. Here is all the information you'll need to make use of them all. Grant's no-frills approach, refined over years of answering the questions of puzzled students, is for any boatowner who wants to take needle to fabric. And as tens of thousands of proud boatowners will happily testify, it really works. Here's what reviewers have said about The Complete Canvasworker's Guide: "Literally every question is answered in this book."--Yachting "Chock full of everything from basic information to a variety of ideas designed to improve, upgrade, and protect a boat."--Small Boat Journal An immensely practical book."--Practical Boat Owner "A concise and to-the-point workbook."--Soundings

With 873 illustrations and 81 photos, it is the only canvas book you will need. Starting with information about fabrics, notions and the tools you will need to get going, a detailed description of sewing techniques follows - such as how to sew different types of seams, installation of zippers, piping, hems, patches and reinforcing, binding edges and making patterns. Not only are these details described and illustrated, the reason why is explained. These important details are not covered in the other books. The book continues then, with how-to instructions for many projects inside and outside the boat. All types of covers to protect the boat and its equipment from sun and rain, followed by larger projects such as biminis and dodgers, awnings and sail covers. Dodgers, Biminis, and Enclosures have been expanded with more details and a very detailed description of California Dodgers is included. A separate section on cushions explains all you need to know about designing and constructing practical, comfortable and durable interior and exterior cushions that will stand up to harsh conditions. Also included are all the essential interior projects to organize and beautify your interior space - storage bags, bedding, curtains, screens. The last section covers repairs - to sails, and canvas - and how to prevent the problem from re-occurring.
