Boatbuilding is a practical handbook and boatshop assistant, designed and written to meet the needs of the builder, covering the complete process of wooden boat construction. The text covers all types of craft from flat-bottom rowboats to ocean cruisers and commercial vessels, and aids the builder in overcoming difficulties and discouraging delays resulting from the lack of easily available information on the practical side of boatbuilding. Boatbuilding gives detailed instructions, with many illustrations, on all phases of boatbuilding written out of actual boatbuilding practice and aids the builder in planning each job in its proper sequence in relation to those that follow. After a chapter discussing the choice of plans suitable for amateur work there are chapters on lofting, the backbone and setting up, flat-bottom hull construction, V-bottom hull construction, round-bottom hull construction, deck framing and building, special construction (plywood, strip planking, lap-strake, diagonal, ribband carvel, can

From book titled “Ed Monk and the Tradition of Classic Boats” by
Bet Oliver; page 63:

“Our old 33-foot bridge-deck cruiser is a small part of a saga about six men with
moderate incomes who wanted to go cruising on Puget Sound, but couldn’t afford a luxury yacht. They didn’t have the kind of credit at the bank to whip in there and borrow the money, so they did the next best thing: They bootlegged the design from the guy who bought the original plans.

“The six shipyard workers set out to find a boat builder who they could work alongside, to save some money on labor costs. They found their boat-builder in Gus Swanson of Shelton, Washington (then in his 80s) who agreed to supply the basic materials for the hulls for $1,950 apiece.

Gus said they could work with him to do the finishing and they could take
care of their own mechanical work.

“Even at that low price, the six men had to cut costs in other ways. As a result of their money saving methods, one of the would-be yachtsmen and his sons launched a successful boatbuilding business. The others? Well, let’s just say they had more fun than a barrel of Monks!

where did the ‘big’ bear come from, the one sawyer shot ?

do you think that michael actually got away with walt, if so does that mean that they can actually escape ?

is ben a puppet for the islands controllers or is he in fact controlling a perfetcly normal island making it seem myserious and abnormal ?

what really was the ‘black smoke’ the one that chased eko ?

is this ‘rescue boat’ actually real or really part of bens plans ?

who the hell is that guy in the wooden hut, the one hurley runs away from trips on a log and finds locke ?

I absolutely love Lost but like you and many other fans we have a million+ questions. I think Michael is the man ben has on the boat. I don’t know what happened to Walt, I think he may have died. Ben is a mystery, but I think it was him in the coffin at the funeral Jack was at in season 3 finale. Noone knows what the black smoke is yet. And the guy in the hut in the chair was Jacks dad.

The place where we find “Jesus is a
carpenter” in found only once in the New Testament. It is located in Mark 6:2-3
“Jesus left there and went to his hometown, accompanied by his disciples. When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed (Greek, ekplesso). "Where did this man get these things?" they asked. "What’s this wisdom that has been given him that he even does miracles! Isn’t this the carpenter? Isn’t this Mary’s son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?" And they took offense at him. Jesus said to them, "Only in his hometown, among his relatives and in his own house is a prophet without honor." Jesus was a carpenter for 30 years. When Jesus was on the Cross, he was doing the will of the Father, just like when Jesus was nailing a piece of wood in his carpentry, it was because He was God and doing the will of the Father. Joseph had died when Jesus was about 12 years old, so as Jesus grew older he carried on the carpentry.

Before when Jesus was young, there
were people who were extremely skilled in carpentry. They were extraordinarily skilled that there were few trees left in Israel. This led to the carpenters learning techniques that were highly skilled, so that they would not waste wood. Wood was rare and expensive, that they became immensely skilled at techniques of using wood so that nothing would be wasted. The Bible says that when Jesus was going to be born, he was going to be born into a family that was familiar with carpentry. Since the stepfather of Jesus was Joseph and was a carpenter in the city of Nazareth, in the province of Galilee. Jesus was raised in a carpenter’s family. It was a custom among the Jews of the 1st century to teach their sons the skills that the father in the family had. So probably, at age 15, Jesus began to learn from Joseph. There was a saying among the Jewish men in Israel: "If you do not teach your son how to work, you teach him how to be a thief."

Other stories in the Bible includes,
Jesus talking about building a tower in a vineyard, building a house "upon the rock" and not "upon the sand", and in Matthew 13:55, He is referred to as "the son of a carpenter." It’s just like what he does today, he repairs our “broken lives” by creating us a new, or make us whole again. When we do sin or offend God, Jesus can repair the damage and heal us from sin. Jesus is the Carpenter because according to John 1:3 it says, "All things came into being by Him, and apart from Him, nothing came into being that has come into being." It means that Jesus is a carpenter because he created the universe. During the 1st century, Jesus was still building. He said, "Upon this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not overpower it."

Jesus could have chosen to die by
being beheaded, or being stoned to death. But he chose to die a carpenter’s death because the Roman soldiers took hammers and nails and the tools of a carpenter and nailed him to a wooden cross.
Jesus demonstrates the value of a carpenter’s work by demonstrating that he can repair lives, and build things from scratch. Being a carpenter includes a different perspective of looking at wood. If a piece of wood is just lying on the ground, people tend to say that it is worthless and they don’t need it, but a carpenter would say that they can use it. It is the same way Jesus looks at us; he looks at our potential or the positive things. But we look at other people’s imperfections or the negative things in them.
