I am thinking about building a skin-on-frame kayak such as the one presented in Wolfgang Brinck's book. I don't have the book yet, but I was wondering if anyone had read it, built from it, or paddled one of these boats. Would it be feasable to build using only this book for instruction? Can it really be made for as little as $150? I'm sure I'll have more questions later. Thanks to anyone who can help answer my questions.
