A 17’ cedar-strip kayak I’ve been working on. Have about 160+ hours in it and maybe another 100 to go. Hoping to get her in the water this summer. Don’t mind the few staples you see. None of that will be visible when she’s done.5yr ⋅ sminick ⋅ r/Kayaking

I'm building display ledges which will wrap all the way around my deck railing. Some pre-bonsai shown here in cedar planter boxes I also made. In the multi-year process of building plant structure and trunk mass before finally working these trees back down into proper bonsai pots.5yr ⋅ sminick ⋅ r/Bonsai
Some here showed interest in my Great Divide bikepacking setup yesterday. Here's a clearer pic. Will be adding framebag also.5yr ⋅ sminick ⋅ r/bikecommuting

Have four (4' X 16) bonsai display ledges built so far. Still six more to go. They and the railing are quite robust. Stood out on the edge of one yesterday so i could prune back a tree limb that squirrels were using to access deck. Very rigid. Solid. All my trees are tucked into garage currently.5yr ⋅ sminick ⋅ r/Bonsai
