Mr. Youngblood, thanks for the compliment, with three completed boats, I'm certain you will enjoy your project. What about that "buildin' bug"?!? All of us on this KBB have it! What design did you settle on? What designs have you already completed? What do you intend to incorporate from your past projects? What do you intend to leave out? Are you milling your stock or having it done? Will you refer to written materials, or solely rely on experience and "feel"? How do you intend to customize your boat based on personal paddling preferences, and do these customizations complicate your building technique? I'm in between projects at the moment and I need to live vicariously through yours! Just jonesn' to build without the money, time and space to make it happen!
