| first you get your plans and transfer them to your marine plywood | 
| next you cut out all the bits and pieces | 
 and join up the long parts
| stitch the hull together | 
| use the forms as instructed | 
| and before you know it you have the beginning of a kayak | 
| kitchen tricks help with the epoxy | 
| the inside seams are strengthened | 
| and then fiber or carbon is layered on the inside of the hull | 
| inside of hull is glassed up | 
| now turn over for the outside | 
| if you want to paint the wood this is a good time | 
| it helps to read the manual from time to time | 
| fiberglass and epoxy on the outside of the hull next | 
| as the cloth absorbs the epoxy the color shines through | 
| almost done | 
| the excess epoxy is scraped off | 
| now work on the deck can begin | 
| it helps to have a nice long work surface | 
| stitching the deck | 
| superglue holds the pieces together while the stitches are removed | 
| thickened epoxy in the inside seams | 
| fiberglass comes next | 
| then epoxy | 
| yes, we have a kayak | 
| almost ready | 
| lets go to the beach already | 
| wow, its great | 
| carrying holds with a no knocking effect. |
