Hi, well hopefully by this weekend I will be able to start building my first wooden kayak a pygmy tern 14. I just have a few questions. Before it gets here. I have a very limited amount wood working experience and very few tools. So thats my first question, what tools,best type of eletric sanders and ect. That will make the job easier, and be something I will need in future builds that I might not think about having? What would be the best way to inlay or onlay a kayak for a novice. And does onlaying or inlaying effect fiber glassingand epoxy. And any other tips that you think a first timer might need to know. Also do you need a special program to view the pictures on this forum? Well thats about it for now I'm sure I will have a ton of questions in the next few months. Thanks for any info.
