Mad boat builder by Vinay Gupta • October 13, 2007 • Science • 4 Comments 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.
