Then there is a descent into the inner secrets of this craft that he loves. As an accomplished gymnast, he will certainly make this kayak-building appear easy, almost too easy, and yet the details are in place to convince you that, yes, you can do it yourself.You have to pinch yourself to bring yourself back to the reality that you will spend many hours building this kayak, that it will cost you quite a bit, and that the process is not as easy as it looks. Then stop pinching yourself and start planning; the reality is that you can do it!There are a few gaps in the details that I had to think my way through, but none of these gaps are intentional. In fact, these opportunities are more exciting than aggravating.This is not the only good resource available for learning the strip-building technique. I am already modifying Mr. Schade's designs to include elements provided elsewhere, as he would even encourage himself. On the other hand, this book is all you need to make a great kayak, and the information in this book is superior to anything that I have seen elsewhere.I would recommend this book even to those who never plan on building a kayak if for no other reason than to appreciate this fine art of shipbuilding. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful manual *by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2016* Bought Nick's plans as well as the book and made a great kayak. I have significant woodworking skills, experience and equipment. Your success will depend on your experience and skills. Most of the instructions are fairly clear. However I had never done the epoxy and fiberglass work before and found that having access to his on line discussion group was extremely valuable. (as well as his You tube videos). Some processes he demonstrates in the videos have evolved from how he does it in the book. he does not address the use of bungee cords on the kayak surface very well and doesn't deal with fiberglass tunnels. There are a few areas which are confusing, but the on line resources and community help. It is surprising but there are apparently quite a number of people out there who make wooden boats either for a living or who make many of these and have been doing it a long time, so they can teach you a lot. I found this especially true in the section on making a paddle. Not sure if you get this access just from buying the book or you have to buy the plans as well. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars I'm ready to stay milling some wood now *by S***O on Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2016* Awesome read. I feel confident to start, and Ireally understand the process now. I recommend supplementing with Nick's YouTube channel. When I start building I'm going to order complete plans from the website, even though you can technically use the ones in the book. I figure for the time and investment I'll have into this, and since it's my first one, that is a necessary expense to have some reassurance.I'm a beginning woodworker with a modest tool collection. The book only recommends a few critical tools, of which I'll be purchasing higher quality options. I feel like the build will be slow and detailed, but the book makes it seem very doable and rewarding.
