And this is a cutting plan for a one sheet of plywood boat which is absurdly brilliant, and very reminiscent of both hexayurts and Playatech furniture.

    Ooooh, it’s a cwrwgl (coracle), but made from one sheet of ply! This will go down a storm on the Teifi.

    Isn’t that nifty?

    I imagine that if they’d had plywood back in the day, all boats might be made this way.

    Nifty and thrifty, which is a specific characteristic, so they say, of those fair folk of Cardigan.

    Some call them tight, but me? I’m much more diplomatic than that.

    Have you had a look at the one sheet of plywood *canoe*?

    It’s… completely bonkers. That and the “half-pea.”

    Shame he’s in Finland. If he was local, this stuff would be great for a demo at a science do.
