Carpenter's Boat Shop

The life and work of the Carpenter’s Boat Shop is supported by the sale of boats and furniture made by the apprentices and by the generous contributions of many people year after year. We are deeply grateful to all those people without whom we could not continue.

If you would like to make a contribution, you can do so online, using the button below, or by sending us a donation in the mail to this address.

Below is a list of some specific items that would be very useful to the shop or community life. Please contact us if you would like to contribute in this way.

We are very grateful for the response to our wish list. As a reminder, consumer grade tools and equipment do not hold up well to the extended use that Boat Shop equipment receives. Heavy duty, commercial grade, or contractor grade tools are more reliable and have a much longer life span at the Boat Shop.
