First, I'd like to say that I think it's commendable for you to provide these plans free to the boatbuilding public. Thanks.

When searching your site, I found your "book reviews" and read your rather hostile assesment of the kayak building techniques used by Nick Schade and Ted Moores. I've read Nick's book, Vaclav's book, Chris Kulczycki's book and I'm reading Ted's book currently, so I find your comments somewhat puzzling and disconcerting.

Perhaps I'm opening a can of worms here, but what do you do that's so radically different from their methods? I'm not looking to start a holy war, but as a would-be boat builder who's in the information gathering stage, I'm curious. If this has been discussed here before, feel free to email me with your response.
