• Custom camper top design feedback

  It turned out pretty well! Went 4mm on the main panels, 6mm on the bottom / back. No ribs/bulkheads and it feels solid as a rock. Inside needs a lot of work, but standing up inside feels so good! ...

• Custom camper top design feedback

  @John P, right, I can't imagine it'll handle particularly great at high speeds. But then again, it's a Prius, and it wasn't meant to go high speeds ;-) Anyway, thanks for the feedback! @Colin Angu...

• Tiny bubbles in fiberglass

  I'm nearing completion on my Oxford Wherry 16: Despite Colin and Julie's top-notch instructions, I managed to screw up the interior fiberglassing of the hull. I found myself playing a game of wh...

• Expedition vs RowCruiser
