I think everyone that builds these boats uses their own modified tools. nobody goes by the book anymore. The book I read suggested using a pocket knife to make skarfs and such. I use a table saw. I stopped using my planer because it got a little dull and gouged into my deck. Now I use a belt sander. and finish with an orbital. never even seen a fairing board. If I were you I would just start building and buy tools as I need them. That way you wont waste too much money on tools youll never use. (spokeshave)
