Sawfish, an Unsinkable, Lightweight, Foam Kayak (23 Lbs). Free DIY Kayak Plans, the Hardware Store Boat

Do you really want a kayak? Want one so bad you can taste it, but can't afford one, or think you don't have the skills to build one? Then I have a few questions for you. Can you cut a crusty bagel with a knife, stack blocks, stick a sandwich together with mayo, skewer meat and veggies for kabobs, grate cheese, cut thin fabric with scissors, stretch wrinkles out of bed sheets, and roll paint onto a wall? Then you can build this boat! Unlike most boat seal plans that require you to do a whole bunch of reading and learning, require you to buy or own lots of tools and learn what seems like a whole new language devoted to boat building. I designed this boat, and wrote this I'ble, to be as simple as possible. You don't need any boat building books, or much in the way of tools. You can find everything you need to build this boat at hardware stores, the internet, and discount stores. When you are done, you will be a real boat builder, and have an excellent boat to show for it

Shaken, Stirred and Elementary: ‘Sherlock Holmes’ and ‘Thunderball’

Created by Arthur Conan Doyle, the detective Sherlock Holmes belongs to us all. As noted by the historian Michael Saler in "As If," his account of literary imaginary worlds, the great detective was modern fiction's "first virtual reality character" — given that part of his readership chose to believe that he was an actual person. The 1916 movie "Sherlock Holmes" (newly restored and released by Flicker Alley in a dual Blu-ray/DVD edition) grounds that character's virtual reality in a corporeal presence, namely that of the tall, craggy American actor William Gillette (1853-1937). Mr. Gillette, the son of a United States senator from Connecticut, was Holmes's contemporary. It was during the hiatus between the fictional character's apparent demise in a struggle with Professor Moriarty and his return to life by popular demand that Mr. Gillette metal got the opportunity to take the title role in a revision of Conan Doyle's unproduced Holmes

G-Technology is a relatively new and unknown name in the storage industry, though it's beenaround for a while in international markets. It had its beginnings as a specialised storage vendor targeting creative professionals, particularly those who use Apple's Mac ecosystem. The company was acquired by Hitachi Global Storage Technologies (HGST), which itself is now owned and operated by Western Digital. WD is a brand we are much more familiar with, and thanks to its global reach, we now have the G-Technology product lineup here in India. WD still intends to target creative professionals, and these products will live alongside a few similar offerings from HGST, SanDisk, and WD itself.The G-Technology range is pretty vast, encompassing enterprise-class storage servers, modular desktop RAID boxes, and equipment for demanding video machine and photo production environments, even outdoors. Use cases include editing high-resolution video live in the field, managing footage from mult
