Just another note about the pics from above, it amazes me how many of these kayaks get built in such small areas.

This one was just about the maximum I could build in my garage space (single garage with too many tools....).
The 'open floor area' (without the strongback or boat) is about 4.5' x 20' ...after I move my small bandsaw out of the way.
My tablesaw with the long infeed and outfeed tables makes a great 'workbench'....though my neighbour didn't really understand when I tried to explain that it would take me an hour to uncover the saw so I could rip a couple of 2 x 4s for him. ;-)

A bigger space would make working a lot easier, and it's also easier to spot mistakes if you can take a step back from the boat. ;-)

The good part of a small workspace is that it's pretty easy to warm it up if necessary, though it seldom gets very cold here on the west coast (Vancouver Is).
