I made some adjustable cradles to hold the canoe while I work on it. The slings double as straps to hang the canoe up out of the way when I'm not working on it.
I drilled a series of holes in the vertical boards, so I can put the bolt that holds the strap in any position to raise or lower the canoe.
I also took out the bow seat so I can start rebuilding it. The aft seat I reassembled with dowels, but I'm going to mortise and tenon the frame together on this one. I'll use some more of the maple from the Schmidt farm to replace the two short side pieces.
Can I borrow those stem forms for a 1915 Kennebec, Torpedo model? I live near Ithaca, NY. Wanna show me your skills? IE help me?
