Look at the article on Green Valley Canoe site on stapleless construction. A few simple jigs, some wedges, and you're on your way.

: i'm looking for suggestions on how to strip the deck without stapling through
: the strips. I've already built a kayak without stapling by simply stacking
: blocks of wood on top of eachother and using them as a surface to drive a
: wedge between the strips and the blocks, but this was very time consuming.
: I've heard of using dowels too. Any one actually built this way? Tips?
