Hello,
My nameis Jess and I'm interested in building a wooden kayak. I have no idea how to go about this process. I am a beginner and had a couple of questions. How are hard are these plans for beginners to figure out? After buying the plans how much generally does the rest of the wood and supplies usually cost? How much time does it take to build a wooden kayak? The patterns on the boats that I have seen, are those included in the plans and if not how would I go about that? I hope any of you could shed light on this for me. Thanks, and I would appreciate any help at all.
