In Response To: Other: breakaway form (marc)

: I'm building a great auk kayak. I was not going to to have a recess cockpit.
: But now i want to put one in. my question is, how do you make breakaway
: forms if you didn't precut the form in the first place? Hope you can help
: thank you marc
Marc,

I built a Great Auk with the recessed cockpit and cut the forms off after stripping. It is really not that hard. Use a jigsaw as much as you can then a pull saw. It really looks good and helps if you decide to use a Greenland paddle.
