Weston Farmer
|
Not long ago, Wes Farmer,
the son of Weston Farmer, asked us if we would be interested
in selling his father's designs in our store.
At first, I was not sure about selling plans that are
half a century old with no designer to call if you run
into trouble. Modern designers use different materials
and different techniques. Then I realized that's the
whole point.
Everyone knows
that these traditional designs are much more difficult
to execute, but they are classics. Some day you
will not be able to find these designs anywhere.
Besides, what about the challenge of building a boat
where craftsmanship counts for something? No "liquid
joinery" allowed. Build one of these boats,
and you are a real boat builder.
Now Weston Farmer's plans are being handled by Dave Farmer, the grandson of the designer.
