I started this blog when I was restoring a 1917 Kennebec canoe. Now I have added to my boat building adventures, and built a kayak. I also have pages about birds and astronomy.

More progress

The aft seat frame is sanded and almost ready for finish.  I needed to plane down one mismatched area where the new piece joined the old cross piece. The frame looks ok, but the new piece is lighter than the old pieces.  I need to look at bleaching the old parts to match.

I cut a circle of plywood to make a lid for the keg I'm using for a steam generator. I have a one inch hose that will connect to the steam box.  I'm still not sure what I will use for the steam box.




I bought a big propane burner to generate steam for steam bending.  This will end up as part of my home brewery.
