In Response To: combing first or block plane first? (Ross W.)

: I'm building the Little Auk and wanted to know if there was something
: terribly wrong with block planing the kayak then cutting out the cockpit
: and starting on the combing? It's taken me a year to get the striping
: done, because of school, but I really want to start on the block planing.

It's not going to throw anything terribly out of sequence--go ahead and block plane. This thing is supposed to be enjoyable, and if you think that you'd enjoy planing right now, then do it!
