I am interested in making a similar one seeing as I have all of the items he used available at my work. Can you describe exactly how you built the firepan?

You could fit in the 10.5, but like you said, the free board would be low, and you would lose speed when paddling. The longer boat will float you better, and you will be able to fit more gear in it.

At 6'2" and 275 lbs, is the 12.0 a no-brainer, or should I at least consider the 10.5? I'm mostly on lake water but occasionally hit the nearby New River in Virginia for some longer day trips and light fishing on occasion.

It truly offers the best of both worlds. I agree about the skeg. It truly offers the best of both worlds.

I am very new to kayaking and after only 1 month in a Manatee 10, I upgraded to the Axis 12 (even after testing a Pungo 120). At age 66 and only 5'5" and 163 lbs, I was concerned about loading and unloading this by myself. Every site that I reviewd showed the Axis weighing 48 lbs. but the Dagger site has it listed at 55 lbs. Which is correct (can't fit it on my scale to confirm). It does take a little effort but going slow and being careful is the key. In the end, this was the right decision. This boat is so much fun and will do pretty much what you want in most waters except the open ocean. The skeg is a great option to have.
