Driftboat Builder's Checklist and Update
3/16 Update:
Mr. Plywood (7609 SE Stark Street, Portland) will deliver our plywood on Friday afternoon at 3:00. One thing you'll need to purchase is a sheet of 3/4", 4'x8' MDL (medium density laminate) for use as a workbench (one per boat). Mr. Plywood has these for $22.99 and will deliver them to the school for you if you order them before Friday afternoon. You can call them (503-254-7387) and order it over the phone and just tell them to ship it with the Riverdale High School delivery.
Right now we are about $50 per boat over budget. I will ask assistant boat builders to chip in some to help us cover the cost of the project. Your help with this will be appreciated as the extra funds will come out of my pocket otherwise.
Final checklist for boat building:
__ 2 saw horses (more are better)
__ 3/4" MDL for workbench (one per boat)
__ carpenter's square
__ measuring tape (25ft.)
__ pencils
__ sander & sandpaper (if you have one)
__ drill & bits (if you have one)
__ jig saw (if you have one)
__ brown bag lunch ( There will be no lunch service at RHS all week.)
Hours are 8am - 5pm. We'll finish at 3pm on some days but I'm sure that there will be some long days as we have a lot of work to do.

Time to get started. I will be with you in spirit and by visiting this site daily to watch the progress. I wish I was close enough to give a hand. This is very cool.
