Build Techniques

Page history last edited by Alex Finnegan 8 years, 3 months ago

tecneeks -Damian's research page

As the current boat (see 7-Bede's Boat Gallery) is a Medieval build, many of the new links will relate to medieval techniques.

This is a nice page with a range of illustrations

Even though this link is not related to boats I am fascinated by the small scale fine craft format of the "little Mesters" from Sheffield's history.

I believe that similar groups of artisans and craft's people could form their own "Little Mesters" Co operatives, supporting each other through mutual trade.

Historically there are a range of trades which are closely related to boat building

Trades like the cooper who makes and maintains barrels for water, wine, olives and pickled foods like herring.
