: I have started on Loon, Yost style SOF kayak. Spent ALL day in the shop
: yesterday building the frames. They took longer than I expected but they
: were easy enough to build. Only thing left to do is sand them really well
: since the plywood is rough.

: I am going to start a web site where I will post construction photos. If
: anyone is interested I will post some here. I don't remember seeing any
: "watch my build" posts on here though.

: Here is the stack of ribs yesterday afternoon

: BTW Happy Thanksgiving!

Btw, trick I've used, use a small round over router bit on the edges of those frames except where the stringers attach. Cleans up the frames much faster than sanding.
