So,After speaking with Melody from Capral, we are going with a different supplier for Aluminium. Only couple suburbs down the road, Capral offered a better deal on Aluminium. Bringing the price down to 55$ All very exciting.
Purchased "floaties" from eBay today for 7$. Now all we need is to dig and find 100$ to pay for the glue and the tubes and we are well on our way to building this thing!
We need some timber and some cheap ply wood to build the frame. Lastly on the list - borrowing things from mates- a drill press, a rivet gun and some bolts.. A metal tube bender. Disk saw press, heat gun. Maybe some carpenter friends have an idea where to get cheap timber from? So far it is still looking like a fairly more affordable way to build a see Kayak that would otherwise cost a small fortune for a fraction of the price. It's almost like buying a Kayak by instalments, 20$ here, 40$ there. I am hoping not to get disillusioned.. Keep fingers crossed. Come on, I have put pretty pictures again!
