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.

Another plank

I nailed on another plank on the port side. There are about 4 more to go on this side, including the ends at the keel and a curved and tapered one in the middle.

Some on, some off

I put on two planks, one long and one short. And I took off two long pieces.

New steam box

My old steam box didn't make the move with us. It was made from insulation board and duct tape, and really wasn't going to last through too many more heating cycles. It was starting to melt a bit.

The new one is made from scraps of plywood. I gave it a test run steaming this plank.
