Re: pic: Wood Coast Drive

Don't limit yourself to plywood. Several years ago we made this:

The frame is red oak, uses standard joinery, weighs in at 7 pounds and has been abused by our team for all that time. It has run into walls, jumped curbs, and carried 200 pound students.

Wood is affordable, works with no special tools, is strong, resilient and smells good.

Spend some time examining it and look up some simple boat building techniques.
