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.

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.

Isn’t that nifty?

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

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