I built this Steve Ramsey-Inspired paddle boat toy without stopping the camera, and using all hand tools. All in all, it took about 50 minutes from picking out the wood to being fully functional.

I prioritized the functionality over the finishing details, but I am actually quite pleased with how it looks overall.

It does work quite well, but it is not an improvement at all. It's slow! But it look pretty nice :)
