> Hey Mike, how many of these have you made? cheers-lee

Lee,

Baidarkas? None yet, but I think I know Brink's book by heart. I have done one skin on frame, so his time frame sounds about right to me. All the information I gave was from his book. Total kayaks only three, all in the past year, and I've started on number four. I'm planning on finishing four(tammy's Spring Run), five(another skin yak), six(nephew's plywood on frame) and maybe seven(niece's plywood on frame), this year, but don't tell Tammy. ;-) Although she has mentioned one for her brother and sister-in-law???

Mike
