Build Plans:
I offer PDF build plans that you can download and print out for a nominal price. Below is an example from the Little Miss Sally electric boat plan.
Ebook:
This 82 page PDF picture and commentary book features just a few of my early drawings on transportation ideas, mobile homes and fun ridable contraptions.
Latest Project:
The Tiny Tug
This is the Tiny Tug, a very small tugboat I made by folding a fluted plastic sheet. Lately I've been experimenting with towing drifting logs that can potentially be cut into lumber, and it works!
