: I am the proud owner of a kayak - that I made with my own novice hands.
: There's another bulletin board that I'll look at now and again which has
: some DIY info for people who want to make their own lightweight
: backpacking gear. Recently a poster on this board offered a link to his

: THAT be?" (the most dangerous phrase in my vocabulary).

: Kayaks. Backpacks. Telescopes. Has me wondering - what other fun toys can one
: build using internet resources and a can-do attitude? Any other great
