Hi, my names Chris and i've been looking to make a boat for about 5 years now. I have previously made a stitch and glue kayak but this was more to do with familiarizing myself with the boat building process. I've recently acquired some space to build which was the main factor stopping me from building before now.
I'm a Cabinetmaker during the day so have pretty reasonable wood working skills. The workshop I'm renting some space in belongs to an ex colleague that has his own business. Its great because i've got the use of his machinery and spray booth.
I'm really enjoying the progress of the boat so far and can totally understand what others have said about it becoming an addiction. So far I've built the strong back and frames and I'm currently up to 25 hrs. I'm going to be keeping a record of costs and hours through the project so if anybody is interested feel free to ask.
