: For some reason I feel compelled to build a kayak (probably from drooling
: over all the pictures of kayaks posted by guys like you). I'm thinking of
: an Osprey Triple by Pygmy. I have some carpentry skills (I built a kitchen
: from sticks once). Is this too ambitious a project for a first-time kayak?
: I've been looking at the S&G projects posted at various web sites and it
: all seems straightforward. But, I also know that when concept meets
: reality.......
: Anybody have any thoughts on this? Should I try a less ambitious project like
: a "kid yak" from Glen-L first or should I jump right in. Any
: thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

If you can build a kitchen, you can build a yak. A yak is bigger only in size
;a kitchen is a lot more challenging -- think of all the joints and trims.
By the way, how do you build a kitchen from sticks? I was a cabinet builder for 15 years, but never learn this skill.
