I have not. I will probably not be starting until after Thanksgiving. Life, work, and the world conspiring and all.

There is a really good video for the 14 here

Well... I have just bought the plans for the Hitia 17!!! 

Those videos are very instructive, I'm binge watching them all the time and looking into details. I really doubt I can build mine with that kind of results, but I'll try. I have zero experience with wood working. 

I'm open to any advice, from plywood and materials suppliers in Florida, to techniques or anything. Everything is very welcomed as I have literally no idea on what I'm stepping into. 

There is an older couple building a Tiki21 somewhere in Florida. They have a channel also. https://www.youtube.com/@RexandKathie/featured

looks like they have built 22 boats so far
