I like the idea of the strong back made from laminated plywood.

[@MaineOutdoorEnthusiast]

It definitely makes it easier to make a straight strong back that's more stable over time.

[@BrittneyGuiou]

Nice apron! (And vest!) 😊

[@MaineOutdoorEnthusiast]

Thanks! You know, I don’t think it’s something I would have bought on my own..but now I can’t imagine working without it. Keeps me clean and organized.

[@nh603]

Great project. Can't wait to watch it unfold. How wonderful that you get to share it with your Dad. Enjoy every minute.

[@yayaa8721]

That will be a nice project for you guys to work on and it sure will be nice once finished. Might be a little heavy to lug around tho haha

[@MaineOutdoorEnthusiast]

I’ve been meaning to build one for a while. Should be a lot of fun! Surprisingly, they weigh about 75lbs…it’s kind of shocking. Hope you had a Happy Easter!

[@yayaa8721]

@Maine Outdoor Enthusiast wow that is great 75 pounds is real good. I ca t wait to see the progress as the build goes along! I hope you and the family had a wonderful Easter as well Paul!!

[@MaineOutdoorEnthusiast]
