Believe it or not, a cedar strip kayak can be built entirely from hand tools (if you purchase the strips). Each strip is cut to length and fit with a pocket knife. Once filled in the boat is shaped with a hand plane and then sanding board. When your done, it's a work of art!
If you think your're interested, I documented the two boats I built on this page:
