: Hi,

: Please excuse me if this question has been asked and I couldn't
: find it. I've had Nick Schades book for a year or two, and have
: yet to start heh. I was and still am stuck at the point in which
: you loft the points. I was wondering what everyone did for that.
: Do you do it on the computer? or do you purchase the plans or do
: you purchase the whole kit and kaboodle at like noahs or
: something? Also if anyone was in Toronto, Ontario that could
: either show me or give me a couple pointers.

I've done this from a book, though not a kayak, and have done it from plans, it's MUCH easier using plans. The plans for most kayaks also include building instructions which helps alot.

Btw, I loft my sections right on the material they are cut from using a carpenter's square and measuring tapes, rulers etc. Can be done on paper and transfered to the plywood but why do it twice?
