Today's webtip: Float on
When I was a kid, I used to dream of floating down our local creek on a home made raft. You know, one of those floating things made out of logs lashed together to create a dry, comfy platform.
I never actually managed to find enough easily transportable logs to actually make one. My few attempts with the bits of wood I had on hand usually went terribly wrong, and to be honest, after finally seeing a working model in the wild, they really aren't such comfy or dry things anyways. I was going about it all wrong.
All
A pontoon raft made out of plastic bottles and other bits would not only have been more realistic, it looks like it might be much more comfortable. If you have ever considered making a homegrown floatation device, or just playing at being Huckleberry Finn, then you might want to check out this guide to junkyard boating: Project rRaft
