Mark in California built this very smart little
Origami. White on the outside but varnished within. With it's 2.5 hp motor
it happily planes.
'I have now finished building the Origami and tested it today, it is a
brilliant toy!!!! We had lots of fun and the bystanders didn't believe it
and all wanted a go - no way! Unfortunately the motor is not mine and I have
to give it back, but paddling was fun too.'

Dave in the UK built this fabulous Origami with it's RAF Roundels.
Dave tells me that DH 9 is also a De Havilland first world war bomber, his
wife's dad, an 18 year old, survived being shot down in one!

Jason made this colourful Origami 8. Its called Bravery
This is "Miss Independence Pants" beautifully built by Deb. Here's what she
said:
She got her name, by the way, from a friend who thought it reflected
my insistence I would build her without help until fitting the fabric. I
did and it was not hard - the instructions are excellent. Indeed, it was
much fun. Thanks for creating the design.

Christine built this very smart Origami 6 which she plans to use on her
Sparrow16 sailboat cruising the San Juan Islands in Washington State
Here is a very proud Brooks from Australia with his Origami which he has
called Majiggy. He says: 'I'm glad I came across Woodenwidget, the plans
were very easy to follow even though I made a few mods since I could only
easily get plywood during lockdown and the hardware is slightly different.
Keep up the great work!'
Rob said: The build went really well, was a great learning experience for me and
I now use the dinghy every week to get to and from my new yacht (well rather old,
but new to me, that's another story)
Ingo from Kiel built this rustic looking Origami and has called it Sorgfalt. He
tells me he made the entire boat (except varnishing) in just two days and used
Oak.

Colin built two colourful Origamis, Persistence and Confidence. He says:
'The dinghies work very well
and are very stable - so stable,
that we prefer to stand up when
using them, rather than sitting
rowing in the normal way!
I can easily carry both dinghies
on the roof rack of my small
family car. Brilliant!'
