In Response To: Skin-on-Frame: Mortise free kayak (Tim Abbott)

For my canoe I skipped the inwale/outwale thing by just screwing the ribs to the inside the the gunwale. I used a small brass screw to the bottom of the gunwale and actually lashed the top nice and tight. If you don't mind the extra few ounces, just use another screw. If you look closely in the picture, I did have to add spacers to the ends to make the ribs sit just right. I also did laminate two pieces of wood together to make a single gunwale. There is no reason this could not be done with a kayak.
