To suggest a link
Proposed links must be related to boatbuilding and provide technical information about boatbuilding and/or a forum about boatbuilding. If it is your website I will ask you to provide a link to New Boatbuilders Home Page. You do not have to do this, but I believe it would benefit both of us.
A Link on Ike's List to a commercial website is NOT an endorsement of that site or it's products! The links are provided only as a service and an information resource.
I have personally checked all the links on this page to make sure they are safe for children.

Will Ansel created a book that speaks to kids in an easy, free-flowing manner. The book is about what a kid will experience--from the sights, sounds, and even smells that are a part of the boatbuildling experience. Traditional, plank-on-frame (carvel) building is featured. An accomplished builder and artist, Mr. Ansel's unique drawings will have your kids (or grandkids) catching-on to an experience that no one should miss. Recommended for ages 5 and up.
