Wooden Boat Store - Study plans / alternate instructions?

[asrainox]

Hi all,

A quick query I couldn't seem to answer by myself - I've recently bought a few sets of study plans from the woodenboat store (Downloadable PDF's), and under alternate construction methods for each, it advises me in an addendum to "See page 96 for further information".

Anyone have any idea what information I should be finding on this elusive page, and where I may find it? Or can anyone advise me what it's likely to share beyond "Make sure you know what you're doing if you're going to change stuff"?

Cheers for any help, I'm guessing it's a general disclaimer page, but would like to be sure.

These study plans are often part of a design review that was published in the Wooden Boat magazine and I suspect that is where you would find the info on "page 96" but only if you can figure out which issue.

Or perhaps... The plans were included in 30 (or 40 or 50) Wooden Boat Plans which had other articles beside just the plans.

Bingo. The study plans at the WBS are a rebranded copy of the commentary as it appeared in 30/40/50 Wooden Boats. If memory serves, one of the volumes had a short article in the back that addresses alternative construction methods. Also, there was the boilerplate "we are not responsible for your boneheadedness" disclaimer in the back of each volume. And a list of further reading. The page 96 reference is to one of those three items.

To address the original question directly, I don't think you're missing out on any info you couldn't get elsewhere, and very easily at that.

The mysterious Page 96 must be in Forty Wooden Boats, because it isn't in either of the other two.

If you really enjoy looking at study plans, it might be cheaper to buy the three books.

I have 50 WB..... As he said, it's not in there. But there is a Malabar II and a catspaw in that one. thanks to Mad Scientist, I just "wasted" 30 minutes!

Page 96 of the 40 book has a thorough disclaimer.

Thanks very much, all. I love a good detective mystery, and if it gives a few folks a justification to look through a study plan book, then all the better for it I say.

I'd gathered it'd be a general hoo-hah about indemnity and pursuing professional guidance but I'm a belt and suspenders kinda guy.

Cheers.
