: Hello all: I'm a regular poster on Wooden Boat's home page and this place was
: recomended to answer my question.

: I'm getting ready to build one of Daved Hazen's canoes. I know it is not a
: kayak, but maybe later.

: My question is this. Does anyone here have any advice or clues about building
: a stripped canoe without using staples? Someone had mentioned routing
: slots in the forms and clamping. Will this work? I plan on using Titebond
: glue. Will spring clamps provide enough presure to get a good joint?

: Thanks for your help and advice.

I found this method works great . Theirs no steaming and requiers realy no clamps . Just alot of small wood wedges. Rick
