No one is any cheaper then I am. It must be a character flaw. I bought three 1/2" sheets of plywood for $28 on sale, and out of it I built my strongback with the storage shelf underneath. All of my cross section stations and the L holding brackets, the cross bracing on my salvaged saw horses and six Blue Bird houses, plus I used the scraps to start my stove fires. On my last boat I bought all of my cedar and pine for strips for $38 at Menards, on sale, going through piles of wood for selection, and have enough left over to get a good start on my new boat. This can be half the fun if you aren't in a hurry.
