This process is exciting! It is so rewarding to see the beauty of the wood grain revealed by this quality wood finish.

I test floated one of the kayaks in my neighbor’s pool. It felt so good to sit down in that boat…it seemed quite stable.

I can build three kayaks in 2-1/2 minutes! Well, maybe if you watch my 2 minute and 20 second timelapse video.

Exterior work is far easier than interior, but there is still an awful lot of sanding… Ensuring the plywood and joints are smooth before proceeding with epoxy and fiberglass sheathing is laborious

We’re really building boats! Work was completed on the interior of decks and hulls, allowing the pairs to be bonded together - forever taking the shape of kayaks.

Watch a parade, sand the kayaks, watch another parade, mix and apply some epoxy, catch a third parade, more sanding… sleep.

No, you can’t hurry love when you’re building three kayaks from plans.

Divine providence has provided an opportunity to resume building kayaks.
