New to the forum, just saying hi!

Hello everyone.  I'm new to the forum.  I've never build a kayak before, but I've been looking for a few years now.  I just haven't made the plunge to do it yet.  I retire from the military in two years, and I think I might go for it then.  If I can wait that long.  The only thing holding me back now is my table saw.  It isn't the most accurate thing in the world.  I really want to cut my own strips.  I keep looking locally for a used upgrade, but haven't found anything yet.  

I plan on doing my first build a cheap as possible, so I can learn without worrying about overspending. There will always be room to build more!  Until I run out of room!

   Trey,

Don't wait, just pick a design and start building something. Life's too short!

If it is your first build, I'd recommend a stitch and glue. Faster to build, cheaper to build, easier to build. Do a strip-built second.
