I have been saving links of web pages of people documenting their experiences building kayaks and thought I would share them with the group. All include lots of pictures and are chock full of interesting ideas as well as giving you a personalized feel for what it is like to build.
They are in no particular order and I know I have left some good ones out. If someone would like organize them and set up a links page or this would be a good start. The comments are my own.
Enjoy
