Li Zhiyuan assembles a paddle boat made of recycled materials on the river at a park in Hefei, east China's Anhui province, April 23, 2007. Li, the designer of the paddle boat, spent one and half months making the boat using trashed wood, bottles, cans and bicycles which cost him less than 100 yuan (USD 12), local media reported.

This is great. I was just thinking to build a raft made of recycled materials to cross the Atlantic from New York to Europe! I know this is crazy but it has been done already. Where do I post to find people who would be interested in building such a raft?
