You must have read some of it to make that comment more recently. :-)

I agree, as long as everyone stays civil. I doubt I'd have seriously
considered making my own kayak without this thread coming up and going down
some of the bunny trails it did.

Making some European-bench style boat sawhorses this week out of 3X3
laminated pine, two full crossmembers, two uprights, all bolted together
with 30" 3/8' threaded rod through the two vertical members on each stand.
Feet are 2X6X30 pine with Honduras mahogany feet with adjustable levellers.
Should be stable enough. Can't wait to see what boats get built on these
stands!
