18th ANNUAL WATERFRONT FESTIVALJUNE 17 & 18, 2011
Clues To Construction Close your eyes. - Imagine yourself at the helm, the wind in your hair, captain of your cardboard craft. It can be any size. Let your imagination go WILD!!! Now sketch this masterpiece of transportation. Corrugated Cardboard is available from Weyerhauser in Elmira, or scrounge through furniture and appliance dealers recycling bins. Build the bottom of the boat first. Two or three layers of cardboard glued together and weighted down…let it set. Cut the sidepieces. Cut against the grain of the corrugated cardboard to insure durability. Use the dull side of a knife when scoring to make a fold. This makes it easier to bend pieces into the proper shape. Glue the sides to the bottom. Let the glue set. Carefully cover any seam with tape. Duct tape works well. Waterproof the inside and outside with a single substance compound. (A simple glue-no two part expoxies.) Paint and decorate the boat. Best clue, old a lot and cut sparingly! Remember…there is nothing, absolutely nothing, half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats! If LIFE is indeed a beach… And, the sands of time record our deeds… Do you want to be remembered for your footprints… Or those of your butt? | Waterfont Festival - June | Racing Thunder - Aug. | | Grand Prix Festival - Sept | Village Christmas - Dec | | Event Listing | watkinsglen.com | Contact Us | Copyright © Watkins Glen Promotions All Rights Reserved Web Site by OnLine Image, Inc.
