: There are a few designs that would work very well for me I believe.
: More plans in strip than S&G. The only downside to strip for me

: detailing strip building using the hand beveling process? I have
: an excellent table saw already and am open to the process.

Nick's blog is a very handy resourse. Watch the videos, you will learn a lot. Not everything has to be done exactly a Nick does it, and he varies techniques himself, but you will get a really good general idea of what is possible.

Below is a link to a really great web log of a build by Kurt Maurer, with a detailed and humourous description of all the steps and good photos.

Don't let the idea of bevelling put you off. Hand bevelling is not the big deal that you might expect. Most of a boat will need less bevel than you might expect.

Not having enough workspace though is an issue that needs consideration.
