On YouTube: Steam bending ribs into the solo canoe


Ribs and stringers in the solo boat today. I like to do this all in one push because the ribs are still pretty soft for few hours after steam bending and the stringers help to fair the shape and also it’s a good time to notice any out of shape ribs while the tools and the steam box are still set up.
.
I put a 30 minute video up on YouTube recently that shows my entire steam bending process in detail for anyone who is interested in what this looks like at normal speed.  My YouTube channel is Cape Falcon Kayak, link in profile.
