- How to Buy a Sailboat - Part I
by Dave Bello. There is plenty of advice available on how to buy a sailboat. Unfortunately, much of it is written by those in the sailboat building or sailboat selling business - in other words, someone with a vested interest in steering you one way or another. If you have read those articles, you will quickly realize that this article is different. The suggestions contained in this article (and subsequent ones... products, articles, news
- How to Buy a Sailboat - Part II
by Dave Bello. Once you know exactly how, where and when you will use your dream boat, the next question to answer is "what are the characteristics of a boat best suited for how I will sail the boat?" I believe this question is best answered across five dimensions: Rig type, sail plan, keel type, interior accommodations and overall hull design. Many great books are available to discuss these considerations in a... products, articles, news
- Cleaving Wood Part 1 (Or Making A Chair From A Tree Without Electricity Or Machine Tools, Part 4)
by Allan Fyfe. So far the tree has been felled and the trunk has been cut into suitable sections. The chair I am going to make is Project 15 in my series of furniture making projects; the back legs are actually 900mm high, so the sections of tree need only be 1m long (to allow for shakes and discolouration on the ends when dry), however I am going to play safe and go for 1100mm.

- American History Through The Eye Of A Needle ~ Part II
by John Wigham. Three hundred years ago the then colonies in America were inhabited largely by a European hierarchy who'd brought their lower classes with them to do the hard work. There was much mingling and intermarrying with each other and with the Indians - the farmers, the peddlers, the sailors, the little merchants, the wilderness fighters -- the first Americans...

- American History Through The Eye Of A Needle ~ Part IV
by John Wigham. Only one form of American needlework is wholly American, without root or kin in the Old World; that is our pieced patchwork. Oh, patches are nothing new.
Ancient Egyptians sewed fabric to fabric, and in medieval Europe women applied cloth to cloth. Patches are as old as poverty. In rags and patches the first workers came to America. Patches belonged to workers, to the poor, low-class subjects of... products, articles, news
- American History Through The Eye Of A Needle ~ Part III
by John Wigham. In typical Old World needlework, each detail is a particle of the whole; no part of the design can stand alone, whole and complete in itself. The background is solid, the pattern is formal, and a border encloses all.
