I once ordered a sheet of 5x10 plywood. I cut it carefully. If not
summer would have been gone before I finished the boat.

A magazine, I think it might have been Popular Mechanics, had a contest
to see what you could make out of 1 4x8 sheet of plywood. One of the
designs was for a picnic table which a girlfriend decided to make. It
was a clever design. You could take it apart in a minute, and store it
in the trunk of a car. The design might have been for one sheet, but I
would have needed 1/2 dozen sheets to make all those cuts right. The
girlfriend swore she only needed 1 sheet. I didn't believe her. ;-)
