Any good books/PDF on TD construction / fiberglassing ?

[tcolar]

While most infos are avail here, I do like a good book / manual/\.

I'm fairly good at building stuff but I also know a book from somebody with experience is very valuable (helps avoiding beginner mistakes, and shows smart techniques)

Are there any good TD constructions books / guides out there (free or not) ?

In particular covering structural, wood working and fiberglassing - I think I really should do fiberglassing but that's one area I have zero experience with ... so it would be much better to learn first

Didn't realize that PDF was not just "plans".
Seems pretty detailed, will check it out too.

Yeah... the Generic Benroy PDF has a lot of good information. As to other "specific designs/plans," I also own and have found very useful the following:

Michaelwpayton introduced me to System Three epoxies in another thread and this is from their resource library:
