I feel like I'm playing with Major League Baseball stars while I hit my wiffle ball off a tee.
I didn't watch all of the BS-1000 video, but no, I made a lot of money for other people by making them shorter.I suppose this is only limited to making wood longer?
Thanks,
Ronstar,
Where do you come up with the cool designs?
First strip and glue up the hull up to the widest part of the kayak. Then strip and glue up the top deck, not gluing the strips where the top deck and bottom hull sections come together. Then take the top off as a single unit. The forms and strongback then can be removed from the glued up hull since the top of the hull is the widest part of the kayak. Then epoxy/ fiberglass the insides of the hull and deck separately. Then clamp and glue the hull and deck together. Then....
Wow-had been awhile since I had come back to this thread-was looking for the cookies . I have finished a few afghans-last one is called Seaside Serenity
That will a strong working top for just about anything. I built one very similar to that design when doing log carving.I'm building another workbench. A stout one. One with a 4" thick top and 4"x5" legs.

Keep us updated when you complete it.
Ron, I’m looking forward to seeing the results since you do quality work. I’m curious, did you draw those plans by hand or use software? Nicely done.
I usually do a very rough sketch by hand with a few measurements before using Sketchup for a detailed plan. I still have a copy of Sketchup 2017 on my old work laptop, which was the last free standalone Mac version before they went to the subscription model. As long as I don’t update the Mac OS it should keep working.
Here’s the project that I’m working on now. It’s a scaled down version of a Mission style table for my wife to fit a specific space for some of her plants.
The bed storage looks great and very functional! You can never have too much storage. I used those same type of drawer slides on a recent project and really like them. May I ask where you bought them?
That’s a great deal on those slides. They have become quite expensive, even on Amazon. I just bought 3 pairs of KV slides for some drawers in my garage/shop. I thought they would be better quality than the ones from China that are so prevalent on Amazon, but the Chinese branded slides are actually better.
Thanks. We need more with a our tiny house and 2 DGK's.
I went to a retirement sale. The old guy had a cabinet and custom everything shop. Got them for a song ($2/pair)should have bought more than the ten pair... I typically go with Amazon for most glides though.
First a beautiful job and I like the space saving idea. We are in the same predicament when DGK's come. We have thought of a futon couch for the den as a problem solver.
I just finished the Mission style table that my wife requested. All solid walnut except for the shelf. Since the shelf has no room for expansion/contraction in my design, I made my own plywood by sandwiching a piece of 3/4” MDF between 1/8” walnut veneers for stability. The beveled top is 1 1/8” thick and attached with figure 8 fasteners to allow for wood movement. I used TransTint walnut dye for a darker look, followed by multiple coats of Osmo Polyx. It’s always rewarding to see a design on paper come to life.
