I managed to make it back into town so I could get to the work shop Monday night. I had the fun task of lashing all the deck beams into place. We used a flat, waxed, artificial sinew for the job. I chiseled a trough on the outside of the gunwales for the sinew. This way the lashings will be recessed and shouldn't rub or be visible under the skin.
Meanwhile Danielle was back and working on steam bending her ribs. Here she is sighting down her qajaq to see if they line up nicely. You can see the ones she has laid out to go next into the steamer.
Here is the steam box we have set up and the high tech device we use to bend the ribs.
Ken was next and managed to get all his ribs on too. Next weekend will be my turn, so I kept an eye on these two.
