A shop you can get the boat out of--people have been known to suddenly decide it's time to install a new window or door in thier homes coincidentally about the time they finish their boat!

: the ends. The biggest disadvantage will be not being able to step back
: from the kayak to sight down the length of the boat when aligning forms
: and attaching sheer strips. If you plan it right, and especially if you
: build with the Guillemot internal strongback, you be be able to move from
: one side of the kayak to the other by ducking underneath it. I do that all
: the time. If it's a good workspace that you can get your materials and
: tools into and get the finished boat out of and you have good temperature
: control, I'd say it's time to start building.

It's not the size...it's the way you use it.
