How to build a canoe // Part 1: The Strongback

Looking good Doug 👍

Love these videos!

Buck looks great don't use the level to apply the shear strips measure from the center line equal distance on both sides this way you have a symmetrical build. All the books on canoe building are doing it wrong when they use a level

What I really came to say, ... Good on ya!

The video shows that you are using 1/2" ply for the core of the strongback, but while not stated on screen, it looks like you are cutting the stations from 3/4". Is there a particular reason you ran the screws from the 2x2 into the ply, rather than from the ply into the 2x2. Seems like having the screw head on the ply side would be stronger.
Thanks - Enjoyed the video!

nice job Mac, looking forward to the build now

Looking good so far! Where did you get the CNC vectors for the stations? If you don't mind.

MUTE!

Planets of a commercial know I'm not doing that
