Boatbuilding requires a person that likes to have his/her spirit crushed.
Be careful what you ask for, you just might get it!
I’m no great teacher/explainer, but you should find some people who are more than happy to walk you through the process on one of these forums.
Go with the laminated keel.
Also, get a low angle adjustable mouth block plane (1 1/2″ wide, they can do more than a 2″ wide one can), a mallet, chisels, definitely need some scrapers (burnished = sharp) and probably a rabbit plane (among other things).
Most important! Know how to sharpen (razor sharp!), and always keep your tools SHARP!
This in itself will save you tons of grief.
