- | I wanted to build my own boat. I don't know how it all started, but there it was. Of course, being a cheapskate with no money it also had to cost nothing, or as close as realisticly possible. Boat plans were of course to be free, which took me on a fun but timeconsuming quest to [[:free_plans|find them all]]. On my world wide web travels I came across the [[http://www.shelter-systems.com/kayak.html|four hour grip clip kayak]], and [[http://members.aol.com/polytarp/wdink.htm|wrinkle dinkie]]. I can do that! I thought to myself. | + | I wanted to build my own boat. I don't know how it all started, but there it was.

Now for the materials. First of all I needed wood. For the frame, you see. This sent me on a mission to Bunnings Warehouse. Notice how I said "to", not "in", because outside their shop they always have a bunch of pallets they don't want anymore, free to a good home. Perfect for me! Well, perfect except the maximum length of wood I could find was only about 110cm. I would just have to make a design to suit. | Now for the materials. First of all I needed wood.
