Composite Materials

<p>In books one through three author and Professor John Wanberg took pains to explain the why and how of building with Composite Materials. In this new book of Step-by-Step Projects John takes a different approach. Instead of explaining the theory and what each component is made of John cuts to the chase. Nearly every page is allocated to photos photos and more photos.</p><p> </p><p>The pictures lead the reader through a series of detailed how-to sequences. From making the mold to cutting the fabric creating a vacuum bag and finishing the part all the information is here. Projects include everything from fabricating a bicycle seat to making the nose-piece for a race car. Some projects require only simple molds while others require the use of a vacuum bag and pressure-enclosure. All are designed for fabricators working in their own small shop or garage.</p><p> </p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Each chapter starts with copy just enough to explain the project and the goals. The vast majority of each chapter however is given over to the how-to photos. Photos that show each step along the way - from the initial sketch to the finished part. If what you need is a good reason to manufacture your own very strong and very light parts this book contains nine separate reasons.</span></p>
