Building stripper in apartment?

I built a stitch-n-glue kit in my second-floor apartment this past winter, and had great success. But already I'm looking towards building another kayak (sound familiar to anyone?)

Has anyone successfully built a strip kayak in their apartment? I have access to many woodworking tools at my folks' place, but it's 5 hours away. I could spend a weekend or two cutting forms, strips, etc., at their place in preparation, but would be doing the acutal building in my apartment. In-apartment tools include cordless drill, Dremel, orbital palm sander, and Skil-saw.

Possible?

Thanks for any and all responses in advance. Dean
