Two Small tear style canoe trailer's

[tx river rat]

Well I just gave into it today and went to the box store, and danget came back with this.

I took out them saws and cut a while then even did a little routing and glueing. Dadburn it felt good
and wound up with this

Now I just have to decide what it is going to be. :lol:

Paint that green and play some Ping Pong, and then take the net off and build a yak on it. Or, use the rest of the ply and make some chairs so the whole tribe can come over for Thanksgiving!!

I think he is building himself a grid table and gonna start experimenting with making a boat from the wood woven mats technique that Joel posted about a week or so back.

Gotta admit, the wood woven mat thing started me thinking, just thinking, tho, nothing more.......yet. :wink: :lol:

Yer eyesight is still good, Mr. Sparker. Looks suspiciously similar to a "canoe teardrop" found on the web. Will you be delivering it or do you want me to come pick it up? (no harm in trying) :lol:

Either that or a very small houseboat , Knowing txriverrat , it could be anything. Could it be a dump bed for his truck , so he can get rid of all the wood pieces in his yard. :lol:

It's the right size to slip in the back of his truck as a camper but I did not see any cut outs for the wheel wells of the truck so it has to be something ( like a canoe teardrop ) to fit on one of the small trailers you get threw the mail from harbor freight.

Got a little more done today roof is on ceiling laid out with 3/4 inch of peak and the hole for the fantastic fan is framed

starting to stiffen up now with every piece I put on

Yep it is going to be a modified tear drop and a flat roof for yaks or canoes.
doing the seams with wood flour and rison then fiberglass saturation coats inside and out , then good coat of paint.
