I'm well into my first Kayak. Had great training under Nick at the Wooden Boat School, but we did not get to cover anything beyond stripping and glassing.
Question is: What are the best tried and true methods of installing deck fittings? The Maroske (tubing through the deck) process looks good, but I see variants of that. I've seen ETs photos, but can't figure out what the material is that's in the wood through which the tubing passes.
BTW - I love this work! The last woodworking I did was in Grade 7 (I'm 63) and that napkin holder got a C. I make stained glass lamps, but boatbuilding has me hooked now.
