: I enjoy the more traditional way of building, would love to take
: the time someday to build a traditional lapstrake canoe with
: steam bent tiny ribs. Should be all copper rivited with no glue.
: It's actually not all that slow to build once you get into it.
: Would make a nice winter project when it's too icky outside to
: do more than blow snow ;)

: Have a friend locally that builds strippers with steamed ribs, very
: thin strips so the boat is pretty light when it's done, they are
: all copper rivited too. Awfully pretty boats, almost too pretty
: to use.
