Ten strips on the boat is a milestone worthy of a picture, right? 60 some to go! Going staple(less) has been surprisingly easy. Tape does 80+% of it, the clamps and a little hot glue to hold to the forms does the rest. That being said, I haven't made it to the difficult parts of the hull yet.

Station forms mounted up with the laser. I'm getting nervous for the 'actual' canoe building that is fast approaching. . #canoe #canoeing #canoebuilding #cedarcanoe #cedarstripcanoe #boatbuilding #wood #woodworking #woodworkersofinstagram #paddling #ausable #ashesstillwaterboats #laser #laserlevel #woodshop #barnshop #woodenboat #woodcanoe

I was able to layout and mount the station blocks tonight. I couldn't resist the urge to clamp up the forms since I didn't have the time to set them up right. I had to get the sneak peak of her uniquely @ashesstillwaterboats shape. I still dig the tumblehome. . For the non-canoe builders, these forms give the boat its shape; the hull will be built around them: upside down as you can (hopefully) tell. . For the canoe builders: never be shy, I can use any tips you can give along the way! . #woodenboat #woodcanoe #woodworking #woodworkersofinstagram #wood #cedar #cedarcanoe #cedarstripcanoe #canoeing #canoe #boatbuilding #diy #paddling

casacel2Getting the strongback set just right. It won’t move again until the @ashesstillwaterboats design canoe is off the molds. Thanks to #canoecraft from @bearmountainboats for the great design. . #cedarcanoe #cedarstripcanoe #cedarstrip #woodworking #woodboat #woodenboat #wood #canoe #paddling #canoecamping #ashesstillwaterboats #laser

Finished ripping strips last night; they are ready for the planer. The @freud_tools glue line rip blade cut great. Next time I’ll rip to final width and skip the planer. . I was also happy with the @magtoolscom featherboard and @microjig splitter. It was my first time using both. . #cedarcanoe #cedarstripcanoe #cedarstrip #wood #woodworking #woodboat #woodencanoe #boatbuilding #canoecraft #ashesstillwaterboats

Planed to 3/4" so it is time to move the planer out and the table saw into position to rip. Then move the planer back in for final thicknessing to 1/4". 18 foot boards require a lot of space to process. I am grateful to have it! . . #barnshop #woodenboat #woodcanoe #woodworking #canoe #paddling #ashesstillwaterboats #cedarcanoe #cedarstripcanoe #grizzlytools

I'm attempting to breathe new life into this second hand @grizzlyindustrial planer I picked up last year before sending the strips through it. Sharp blades, everything leveled and indexed, rust removed, new base, and new fluids. . I'm learning it takes a lot of 'stuff' and frustration to get everything set just right. Not there yet. #planer #tools #cedarcanoe #cedarstripcanoe

Each of these strips is from a different board that is being ripped into strips for the boat. There will be lots of color variation on this @ashesstillwaterboats Tandem Trip. I'm thinking either from dark to light, or a rainbow pattern all the way down rotating one from each board and back. Hmmmm. . . #cedar #cedarcanoe #cedarstripcanoe #canoe #woodenboat #woodcanoe #woodworking #wood #paddle #boatbuilding #boats

casacel2Began ripping cedar today for the @ashesstillwaterboats canoe. Vertical grain cedar was the best wood I could find, so here I am ripping at 3/4". Next they'll be rotated 90° and tipped to 1/4" to end up with strips with the edge grain showing. Swipe left for another video and pics of the saw jig. . . #ashesstillwaterboats #cedar #cedarstripcanoe #cedarcanoe #woodenboat #woodcanoe #woodworking #wood #ahhhhsmellssogood #canoe #paddling #bwca #Michigan

Completed cutting and shaping my station and stem forms this evening. These 17 pieces of MDF will bring the lines from @ashesstillwaterboats to life. I used the @boschtoolsna jigsaw to rough cut and the @ridgidtools stationary belt sander to finish. I think I'll rip strips before mounting the forms; once that strongback is put in place and leveled it is not moving again until the boat is off the forms. #ashesstillwaterboats #cedarcanoe #cedarstripcanoe #woodenboat #woodcanoe #woodworking #canoe #paddling #tandemtrip #barnshop #woodshop

Today I picked up the cedar from @fingerlelumber. Great service over there! The cedar is to be ripped into about 1350 feet 1/4" x apx 11/16" strips to form the hull. I've decided not to mill bead and cove and instead attempt to place a rolling bevel on each strip by hand to fit it to the next. MDF in the background for forms. Almost time to start making sawdust; apx 25% of those boards will be dust, even with a thin kerf blade on the table saw. #ashesstillwaterboats #beadandcove #cedarstripcanoe #cedarcanoe #canoe #paddling #wood #cedar #boatbuilding #rollingbevel #fingerlelumber #cedarcanoe #woodencanoe
