    There is definitely a fine line between genius and insanity. He think he may be playing hop-scotch over it.
    Nice family.

    Congratulations!

    I think you won't have to do anything... If he continues to build and test stuff like that, the nature and laws of physics (gravity) will do the job for you. :p

    Well, the guy definitely has a lots of courage. On that side you can be proud of him. ;)

    My mom always said the difference between friends and relatives is that you get to pick your friends but you're stuck with your relatives.

    bath tub

    I like it! Some times, we are way too serious about our boats; worrying about nuances of design and aesthetics. This is good, strictly for laughs

    Maybe Landlubber's nephew is inspired by these professional fishermen . . . . . :p

    ‘‘ Coracles on the River Teifi, West Wales 1972. The two people pictured are John (forefront) and Will Davies of Cenarth - the last two legitimate Coracle fishermen in Cenarth. - - - They carried their boats (and their fish) home on their backs. ’’

    Last thing I would like to see from nephew on YouTube . . . . . . . . . :p

    Cheers,

    I like it when people do something reasonably sensible for the sheer hell of it. It reminds you that not everyone is a raving halfwit.

    The bath tub didn't sink.
    It was floating level.

    Pretty good effort.
