I've made a bit more progress on the frame for the skin-on-frame canoe this evening. I've got the forms mounted on the strongback and started to cut stringers. I think I've discovered my second "boo-boo". The chine stringers were intended to be fairly husky and while they bend well in one axis, they don't bend so well in the other. I think I'll need to lighten up on this excessively beefy piece of stock. I am liking the way the forms sit on the strongback for alignment. It's a great deal more simple than trying to juggle frames in mid-air the way some kayak builders do.
More to come.
