Correction: I built my DK-17 myself! Steve, Bill and Heater Beaver, Willy, and David. All assisted at some level with the lamination of the hulls. (If you're going to cycle the molds twice in less than two days you need a little help...) Yes the molds were built by Steve and cut with an NC Router. I brought my own materials. I paid to use the mold. I walked away with four pieces that hardly resembled a boat. I have a day job completely unrelated to my hobby/addiction. I built the rest from scratch in an 18’ by 19’ garage. I can’t speak for the rest of the DK-17’s buy mine was home built. A trivial issue to most, but not to me.
