KAYAK BUILDING CLASS

Steaming hot ribs

To steam bend kayak ribs is always interesting. Camera Guy uses the "standing video syndrome" to it's fullest ;)

And here is a time lapse of Speedy Greg's kayak.

There was never any real need for a rib jig before but I got envious of all those nicely shaped ribs you can see in pictures when people are using them. So, today I made a bending jig for all to use. Greg was hesitant to use it at first but tried it on the second to last rib. My craftmanship probably wasn't convincing enough, haha!

After much consideration and calculations I chose the scientific "kakburk" method for a radius of 100mm
The little rib jig done. We will se if it helps
Gots to set up the time-lapse recording
