The deck and the hull are built on the same forms, you just do not apply glue to the strip at the sheerline. This lets you lift off the deck to remove the forms.

The plans come with a materials list.

: I am in the process of reading book and have ordered plans for Little Auk.
: This is my first attempt at working with wook and building a kayak. Can
: someone refer me to the page/section that explains the removal of the
: forms and the strongback? Also, I am confused whether or not the deck is
: fitted to the hull or built as part of it. Will the plans identify the
: quantity of materials needed. I will keep reading and anxiously await the
: plans so that this process becomes more clear. Thanks. John Keydash
