Glenn,
I too am a newbie and considered the working height. I am 6'4" (or 191cm)and built my stands slightly higher than the book suggested. My project - Expedition Single is just about to start, just waiting for the timber to arrive. I have also just started a web site with pictures which I will try to keep updated though I may have to redo it as the pictures take a while to download. I am learning to build a kayak and a web site, should keep me out of trouble for a whille.
This is my first posting to a bulletin board so I hope it works. How do I put a picture in with the message?
The website is http://members.ozemail.com.au/~ghorsley/
and I would appreciate any comments on either the kayak building or the website.
