A pic. of the upper stringer clamped inplace from the stern end...It is going to take a little bending to get it over to the centerline...I will have to cut back the keel and bottom stringers...This makes for a fun challenge... :) I will sketch an outline of the stern on a pc of 1/4'' ply and...

The frames are laid out on the keel stringer..and the outer chines are in place.... Where the outer stringers naturally land...the bow is 3'' longer than the plans but at the stern it is 11'' to long..

I just came up with an idea...why not a leather back band...Cow hide isn't a problem in this Cow Town :)

I always wondered what the diff. between that type and minicell foam was..... being I have neve set on a minicell seat...

We have small ponds with a thin layer of ice up here....With low water levels might concentrate fish...Take pics...for us winterized folks up north...

I had some really really weathered chairs so I tried one...I guess I could lash it down...need to be as low as possible in this type yack..

I thought this was pretty ingenious: http://justyakkin2.blogspot.com/2011/04 ... cycle.html

Sparkey... when you were explaining a snake skin nylon tube ...I was thinking of the old nylon bag I use that those collapsible chairs come in you see everywhere.

I got this answer back off the KF site which I will do.... Quote:I would highly recommend a spare, partial stringer between the keelson and the first chine, perhaps only 8' long, centered fore and aft, with nicely rounded ends, so as not to provide a ripping point... this stringer doesn't even...

All-right...thanks Matt that will put a 19'' spacing between frames this ought to be a really fun project...just wondering on the space between the keel and the first chine having a max beam of 14'' I don't know if I need an intermediate stringer between the 2 or not? I got a post over on the KF...

Matt... I could still try it my way and see how that first top side stringer fairs out. I will mount the 2 end frames to the strong back "adjusted according to the WL. Then mount every other one..make them out of some scrap I have laying arround... The keel and the first chine will be no...

Matt ...thanks because I'm about ready to pull my seconf SOF off the strong back... Had a teenager that I take fishing over Sat. to help with lashing the Stonefly canoe.. Yours truly.. it will be raffled off at our (Indian Council Of Many Nations) 50th year anniversary, starting at our...

Here is where I got the palns, parts, magnets, a few yrs. ago http://www.windstuffnow.com/main/lenz2_turbine.htm

Here is an example, the wings of my unfinished wind turbine. This is aluminum coil around a wood frame the rivets work fine even into the edge of plywood.. Don't mind the dust and cobwebs. :)

It would be easy to make cardboard templates off the assembled framework and overlap seams put it together with long rivets right into the stringers.

This is the inspiration...a beautiful canoe...so why not a pirogue..

Can't find a SOF piroge on the Nett. anywhere...Am I nuts..I don't know.... Seems like I always got to modify something... Even as a kid I didn't stick to plans building model cars..I remember having boxes of parts..and modifying everything into a dragster...Hot Rod and Car Craft mags were my...

Reply from Kudzu on cleaning out a SOF.... You will never get it all out. While on the water you can put put water in the boat and push if forward and backward really quickly and agitate it and loosen up some, then dump it. I think that MIGHT loosed up some of the stuff trapped by pushing the...

Oh man !!!!can you imagine trying to wash out you're boat after fishing....I didn't think about that..even with the plywood frame and stringer construction..fish scales and or what ever could get wedged in between the fabric and the stringers... This type of boat is only going to be pristine...
