New kayak build under way
I have finally gotten around to cutting out the forms to build my next kayak. It is based on the Resolute design with a few modifications. This one is being built to specs for a customer.

I think the work table could use a good coat of paint. :embarassed

Progress Report
Hull stripping has begun. I have installed a K.I.S.S. accent stripe at the customer's request. I made some little "Helping Hands" to support the strips as I apply the glue in the cove since I strip with the bead up. Once the glue is applied, I just flip the strip into position on the hull.
I added a few more strips today, inner stems are almost covered.
