Crawlspace Canoe: 1950s
From circa 1950s Columbus, Georgia, comes this uncaptioned News Archive negative of a young man and his dugout, evidently crafted in the basement. Ready to open that spigot and float off to points unknown. View full size.
Boat building/root hacking tool
That axe-on-its-side is called an adze. i didn't realize you could use it to hollow out a boat, we use ours to hack stumps and roots.
Footsteps of giants
That looks like the start of a pair of size 250 EEEEEEE clogs.
In the age of video games
Do boys still take time to carve canoes from tree trunks?
Trap Avoided
A dugout canoe escapes the trap of building a boat that you can't get out of the basement. The log you got in is bigger than the canoe you have to get out.
I would love to do that
I've always dreamed of making a dugout, but probably never will. I can only see doing so if I come to live next to some water with my own dock. They're crazy heavy and hard to transport.
Darn
I should have measured the door before I started.
