Strip: Wanting to Learn How to Build a Sea Kayak

I am a whitewater kayak instructor out in Knoxville, TN. I have been leading sea kayaking and whitewater trips at UTK for just about three years. Having graduated from the university, I really want to build my own sea kayak for expeditions. Is there anyone in the Knoxville area or close that builds boats and wants to teach a young guy how to build them. This art form is very appealing to me and I really want to be able to say that I built my own boat. Also, are there any books that you all recommend I get? Thanks.
