: Last May I modified some kayak parts into a 16 foot prototype
: called the Reflection. In September that kayak was turned into a
: plug to make a mold for production. The first kayak was
: completed Tuesday and I paddled it yesterday.

: I documented the process in time lapse videos of roughly a minute
: each.

: The first time lapse video shows the building process. Those
: curious about the plug and mold making process can continue down
: through the rest.

Very cool Reg :)

Makes me glad I'm not in a production boat shop .

Btw, if I could work that fast, I'd have way too many kayaks.
