Bending in ribs for two full-size solo canoes for The Weight We Carry.
Unlike the double-paddle pack canoes I’ve been working on up to this point, these are both longer and wider – meaning taller gunwales, thicker ribs, and more stringers. It’s a good opportunity to check the scalability of the build system I’m developing, and to address any problems – especially in the ribbing. That’s the key to this project – the end goal is not a firm set of plans, but a building system with simple formulas that will allow you to build whatever size canoe you choose.
