This is a short, silent, stop action video of the steps the late Tom MacKenzie used to build his Loon Works rib/plank canoes. To make his wood canoes as light as possible, Tom did not use canvas with a traditional heavy and slow-to-dry filler. The fabric he used was Ceconite, a formulation of Dacron, which he ironed on and glued at the rails. The fabric is primed, then filled with Cecofill, and then painted.
