Such as this one to construct a cubby house ...
I've recycled some of the kayak's offcuts into this cubby house including the "strong-back" from the kayak's formwork and sections of spotted gum - from the same batch used to make the kayak's outer stems.
The cubby house is constructed with the ruins of an old brick bbq as a footing.
The mid-level will serve as a native orchid house.
Felix fine tuning the lifting pulley.
Materials used:
Blackbutt posts
Spotted gum roof framing
Spotted gum floor battens
Recycled hardwood floor joists (species unknown)
Tasmanian Oak dowels
Australian white cedar soffit
Galvanized mini-orb
Clear polycarbonate
A great place to hang a native orchid or six.
Other kayaking momentoes find their place too - abalone shells from multiple east-coast expeditions, hump whales bones (also used in the kayak and its paddles), and various coastal dwelling native orchids.
With the cubby house now out of the way it's time to get back on to building that kayak!
