Now THAT is one sexy kayak!!!!! Oh man, I need one of those. When do you go into full production mode?

Really awesome preacher. You've got a real talent.

this looks great. one of these days, you gotta let me help you build one of these kayaks.

with the wife's blessing (only because i am about to build some drawers for the cabinets and repaint the kitchen), i am about to acquire me some nice wood working tools.

wonder if you can give me some advice.

about to pick up a table saw with some nice blades, 32gallon compressor, hvlp guns, router and nailers. think i am getting the dewalt dw745, but unsure because they said its not safe to use with a dado blade. maybe step up and get the one that is compatible. anyways, my question is on the router. do i really need a 3.5hp plunge router? do i need a planer? planers aren't cheap and so are the replacement blades. i notice you got a scroll saw, can a jig saw be used instead?

I'll take you up on your offer after the good fishing slacks off.

I'm not up to date on all wood working equipment, my table saw came from a contractor friend, it's a Delta 36-650, and it's 230 vac a real hog. If you get into strip building you have to cut several hundred strips up to 14 feet long so a good saw is a must.
I'm into inlays so a band saw is a must. I'm not professional enough to say that a jig saw won't do the job, but I couldn't do it with a jig saw.
I'm just learning routers and not able to give you good advice but Rockler on Coit has free classes and information. I personally think that you will have better results with a router table to go with the router.
You also will need the large compressor. I do have nail guns but only use a staple gun on the yaks.
As for the planer, I don't know how I got by without one for the first few years. A 12 inch planer is an absolute blessing when building these puppies.
Building these little hybrids is my second vice next to fishing, and of course enables my fishing addiction.
