Timelapse: Canoe build: Clamping and lashing on the stringers


I like to get the stringers on the same day that I bend the ribs because it really helps to smooth out the shape. It’s nice to have Liz’s help with the lashings. We just put on a podcast and an hour and 15 minutes later we are done with the lashing. We are working opposite each other here but not on the same stringer height. Everyone will pull a lashing with different tension, which can actually mess with the shape of the boat, so I always make sure that the same person does the same stringer on each side. There’s music on this one too.
