For my birthday my wife got me ‘The Willets Brothers and their Canoes’ . I haven’t started it yet but but looking forward to it. Jim

All of Robert Service, Sigurd Olsen and Calvin Rutstrum. Calvin’s Paradise Below Zero got me excited to live in a wall tent (with stove)...

I’ve moved on from the propane burner and gas can steamer (that could have been my photo, I had the same setup). I now use a wallpaper...

Here is an old video on bending wood, but the boats might be a bit bigger than a canoe. Still interesting. Jim

Do you have more / similar rib stock to practice on? Jim

Looks like someone lost their paddle. Jim

Maine

I keep old credit cards or other similar plastic to use as glue spreader/scrapers they also can be used as spacers for setting the table...

That is one big Maine Coon Cat. Always liked that breed and if my wife wasn’t allergic would probably own one. But damn that’s a big...

Looks like a nice project. When you need help cutting outwales just let me know. Jim

I usually start with a scorp, nice and sharp. That cuts all the high spots quickly. I feel your pain. Jim

Merry Christmas from Maine. Jim

I agree Pook, yesterday we were going to get together with family for Christmas but today we aren’t sure. Jim

I could get behind that. Jim

Glad to see it back in service. Looks like a good job. Jim
