: 3/4" plywood is less than $25 here in FL

I thought that Florida would have the most expensive plywood in the country.

We did build a three section, two eight footers and a four foot, table which I now have in my garage. We built this before seeing Moores' book but it is a simple 2x4 box with half inch plywood, capped with 1/8 inch Masonite.

I'll use it to assemble the panels then I will go the a twelve foot One Ocean Kayak scheme which will hold the two bulkheads and the two temporary forms. I will make cradles that hold the hull up or inverted and maybe on the side. This I can move into the driveway to sand or attempt to draw admiring glances.

Now I have to decide if I want to pirate my initial table or save it for future builds. Two friends are starting S&G's in the spring.
