  The board you thought may be a tailgate is actually a side board for a bed.  Hooks go to headboard and footboard.  That smaller board along side the larger is to hold slats all along the length.  Love watching the creativity you folks use in light of having fewer resources than other parts of the world.  Likewise you exhibit terrific skills in construction.

  Awesome reuse of Timber. Can't wait to see how it turns out. One observation though 😂 that timber with the latches was not from a tailgate, it was from a bed.

  I have followed all those projects you mentioned.  Amazing how the internet can connect so many people.  That was a very creative way to move a boat! 🙂

  I read a article about this guy who went to a area in the 60s where a vast amount of king Billy pines were burned, killed but not destroyed and he went out, harvested a large number of them and took them to his sawmill. He's got quite the cool stockpile!!

  That piece that you believe is a tailgate is actually the sides of a bed frame.. they're the pieces that are ran from the head to the feet along both sides

  Looks like the shed gets cleaned once a decade, whether it needs it or not.

  I built Oughtred’s slightly larger Puffin last year. Was great fun. And great fun to sail.

  “Sit around in our thongs…!”  As a fellow Australian I feel it my duty to inform others that a thong is a rubber sandal with the single strap going between the big toe and second biggest toe which is how it gets its name - the first versions were likely leather. Very common, very popular and a relaxed footwear option in warm Australia.  Also known as the Australian Safety Boot as it’s often worn by those performing duties like mowing the lawn, carrying bricks, welding, building boats, etc.

  Having been extremely impressed with your superb workmanship so far on Tarkine, I am sure that you&apos;ll make an equally beautiful dinghy - and very much better than the others!<br>I look forward to watching its progress from a pile of recycled timber to an elegant tender.
