I went out and picked up some more supplies from Lowe's today, then got to work. The top work surface is done. I had a bit of fun getting the full 4'x8' sheet maneuvered through the garage (around the tail end of my Outback, which I can't move due to the disassembled engine), through the foyer door, down the stairs, and into the corner of the basement. This stuff is *heavy*! It's dense and smooth, though. Nasty dust, too... I'll be cutting the sections for the lower storage areas outside on the driveway, assuming the weather's clear tomorrow.

Once I get the bottom surfaces in, and another shelf or two, I'm going to use Paul's idea of the skinny & long workbenches that bolt together to form a strongback, with folding legs. I picked up enough lumber and MDF to do both. That'll give me something to do this week, 'til the parts for my engine come in after Friday... then I can start working on the actual kayak. Been a long time comin'...
