Re: accomodation building books

Thanks for the suggestion. I've ordered it. I sure like those used-book sites like abebooks.com and alibris.com

It really is a fantastic book, and for any kind of cabinetmaking.

One of the most useful things I learned about in the Bingham book is
something he calls a "sliding auxillary table", which he calls a SLAT,
( which fits on top of my smallish table saw and allows precision
angled cutting and replaces the need for having a compound miter saw.

Another thing is the importance of a functional tool box to bring your
most used tools with you and keep them handy inside the boat.

I have to agree with Bruce... Fred Bingham pretty much gives you everything that is needful and even after 30 odd years of building boats Bingham's book is still my go to source for interior work.

Hello all,
Can anyone recommend any books which cover in detail different methods of how to build the different parts of the interior of a cruising boat? For example: drop-leaf tables, ventilating bunks, secure door and drawer latches, windows, secure book shelves, chart tables and drawers, sinks, gimbals for stoves, built-in showers and bathtubs, seat cushions, insulation methods, etc, etc. If there is not such a book maybe some enterprising author might find the subject of interest.
