Maybe you piece things together (like me)? This is kinda interesting, a man-sized boat from one 2"x4":

That's very cool. I was supposed it could hold home up. It's like rafts I built as a kid only this doesn't end in me under the water. That thing could almost be powered by RC boat motors. Thanks for sharing it.
 
Wow, imagine what he could do if you gave him two to work with! Give him three and you may end up with a man'o war.
 
Attack of the Clamps.

Seriously...that dude's clamp collection is legit.

If you do any kind of woodworking you will seriously need lots of clamps...or spend a lot of time waiting for glue to set before you can re-use clamps. Below is a simple project but lots of clamps to keep things square, it use about half my bar clamps.

Wow, that was impressive, besides the fact that was made from a single piece of lumber...

His back saw and hand chisels were worked with seemingly surgical precision. I liked the paper templates he made, because sometimes a sharp pencil is -better- than a laser.

I don't have that many clamps, BUT, I dId get the fancy ones that fit standard AND metric :p

Very cool, thanks for sharing!
 
I emailed this thread to Jim L. ( Quake ).....

The first rule of boatbuilding is you don't have enough clamps.

I use to have, almost enough clamps...

I'm alive, Teddy. That video is totally amazing! I'd never have the patience for a project like that. And even I don't have that many clamps!

Thanks, but it's a has been. Lost it 3 years ago next month.
That's what happens when the bottom falls out of the construction industry.
And you're over 50 with only a high school diploma.
 
HHHEEEYYYYYY !!!!!

How are you Jim ???
I haven't seen you around in quite a while...
I sure hope everything's great with you man...
I figured that 2 X 4 boat build would be interesting for you,, and Woody too...
There were actually quite a few video's right next to that one that were really interesting too...
Just figured you'd like em...

Wow Woody,,
I'm really sorry to heat that...
One of the core members of Rad Rocks is also a carpenter and has a difficult time of it...
The work isn't around like it used to be,, that's for sure...
I really am sorry to hear of difficult times for you Woddy...

It sure is nice to see the old qquake around though,, lol...
