The phrase at the bottom of the cover caught my eye. A catchy caption and a good philosophy for writing such a book. Nick's strip built book does a good job of maintaining this same principle.

BTW, I bought Chris Kulczyki's book "The Kayak Shop". I'm about halfwy through reading it. It's almost as good as Nick's strip building book. I have a hard tine juding whether a complete neophyte would be comfortable building a kayak with only Chris's book, because I have alot of woodworking and general shop type experience, and also because I have done such extensive research on building wooden kayaks.

I already know what's coming next from you guys. I just finished a project that grew into a monster (the Choo-Choo) with the exception of a few finishing touches. Now I can get a few household projects done, and re-organize my shop to get geared up for building a kayak.
