: Well, I'm almost ready to order my first S&G kayak kit (Waters Dancing Solace
: 16XL). I've made room in the garage and am starting to think about a table
: to work on. I may have access to three 6'x2.5' folding tables. If not, I
: will likely build my own out of plywood and 2x4s. I'm leaning more towards
: building my own actually, just so I don't have to worry about messing up
: someone elses tables. So, what size table would be appropriate for a 16'
: multichine S&G kayak? If I buy one sheet of cheap 8'x4' plywood I could
: cut it lengthwise and have a pair of 2'x8' tables. Is that wide enough, or
: wouyld I need to just build two 8'x4' plywood tables? Do you guys have any
: ideas about this, or can you point me to any websites with some details?
: Thanks in advance,
: Ken
Well Ken, no shortage of good advice.
You really don't need the table for anything but to keep the boat up to a good working height. It makes it nice to put your tools within reach. Once the boat is stitched together it will hold it's shape pretty well and you can get some 2" foam at Home Depot and cut out cradles to hold it up. With the wires in the hull it is tough to keep it upright on a flat bench..
If you need any help let me know...... I'm just a hop, skip and a jump away... ( I don't hop, skip or jump any more, but can drive over in about 5 to 7 minutes.. )
