: doubled the seats, coaming material, etc. break down:

: Fiberglass, resin, adhesive, etc: $1,100
: Hardware (incl rudder): $442
: Plans: $130
: Forms: $66
: Shop supplies (sand paper, latex gloves, staples, etc) : $318
: Wood: $454

: I just bought plans to build a Razor Billed Auk, I will keep track
: of my spend on this as well, but I am hoping to keep it under
: $1,500.

$1100 for glass and resin? wow. I don't think I've spent that much total on those supplies for my 7 kayaks.
