So there I was at the table yesterday, stuffed from too much turkey and pie, thankful for all I have (especially the kayaks)and got to wondering. The day before I was looking at the leftover strips (?) I will have from the current project,and it occured to me that other addicts might have the same situation in their shop. What to do with the strips? A myrid of solutions comes to mind, (more kayaks), but at the table another thought occured. What would be the logistical nightmares involved in maybe some of the builders donating some of the leftovers to a builder, who would then construct a kayak to donate to a charity? I was thinking maybe the builder would gather it up, build it, donate it to say Make a wish to auction or raffel, and have photos of the finished product and new owner to post.The only cost to the others would be the shipping, and to the builder would be the glass and epoxy, and maybe they could get that donated by a local shop as well. Each year a new builder would take the project and chose the charity. What else should be considered? Is this a feasable idea? How about some input. TomP
