Plywood Camper

Doug Redfield of Bellingham, Washington built his plywood camper with marine-grade meranti plywood, G/flex® Epoxy for the assembly and joinery, and WEST SYSTEM® 105 Resin/205 Fast Hardener for coatings. He laminated a layer of light fiberglass cloth on the top, front, and sides.

Wooden camper shell mounted on a pickup truck; doors are open, exposing a bed and a small drawer with a green container; raised roof hatch amid trees. The object is a camper van with doors open. The action shows a bed, shelves, and a green box. The context places the van on a driveway beside trees.

A wooden camper interior with a blue mattress on a raised bed platform; exposed beams and a skylight overhead, a side window, and an open doorway revealing a driveway outside.

Down East-Style Lobster Skiff

A white fishing boat with red trim rests anchored on a calm lake, with its outboard motor labeled Evinrude visible. A forested shoreline and clear sky provide a tranquil backdrop.

Featured photo Jamie Wilkins of Wilkins Craftworks in Elk Rapids, Michigan built this 17.5′ Down East-style lobster skiff to enjoy on northern Michigan’s small lakes. To construct the hull, he milled and dried white cedar from trees he’d removed from a building site. The boat features a lot of brightwork, including a mahogany transom, breasthook, and gunwales. It’s powered by a 60-horsepower Evinrude outboard. wilkinscraftworks.com
