: When I built my first kayak I obsessed about everything. One day I
: was worried about the "right " time to add the keel
: strips. So I asked Nick and he told me, "just cover the
: forms with wood"! This was probably the best advise I could
: have gotten. It made me think instead of worrying so much.

: Happy Building,

That looks great Charles. Wanna come and build mine:)?...... I am trying not to sweat the small stuff, but at the same time, if I get a form placement wrong, or varying strip thickness, etc that would be a big probelm and I'd sure like to avoid the big stuff. Thanks for the advice though; I'm going remember that "just cover the forms with wood" whenever I start overanalyzing anything.
