John; Go for it. I'm not a skilled woodworker by any stretch and have a limited amount of tools. I find the work very relaxing and rewarding. There is no end of great help on this web site. The only advise I would give is don't set a deadline. That way you can't disappoint yourself. Good luck...Phil

: I am wanting to get into building a kayak. I own two kayaks, a Pungo and a
: Perception America. I'm wanting to build one myself, but don't know if I
: should buy a kit or just a set of plans.

: I am a very advanced woodworker, and I own my own cabinet shop. I have
: commercial woodworking machines at my disposal such as planers, jointers,
: shapers, belt sanders, etc. I realize there is a difference in building
: kitchen cabinets and wooden boatbuilding, so I am seeking advice.

: Thanks,

: John
