Customer Reviews

get yourself a nice warm garden shed
you'll need it with this book. very practical. repeats a lot of the things over and over but i actually like that because i dislike having to flick too many pages to find the steps i forget. like dancing lessons. you have to repeat the steps over and over.
goes into the properties of the materials, layups, different resins etc. from this you could probably start work on your Lamborghini Countach replica. Just get yourself a shed first to do all the work!

An excellent book,one of the few with many practical advices
If you want to make your own composites body parts or wings, you need this book. Obviously one of the best book on the subject, with many pictures showing step by step how to make moulds and parts.
