Preparing the shop and setting up the strongback
After the strips were milled, it was time to prepare the workshop. That included moving the old manual press and the ruter/planner/circular saw to accomodate the strongback. But first, the strongback had to be built, and built very precisely, as any mistake at this stage would be transfered to the hull shape of the canoe. So a lot of measuring was done to make everything as close to perfection as possible. The strongback was assembled from 3 separate pieces, and then it was set on the ground and brought to level using laser . After that, the moulds were positoned at 30,48cm (12inch) intervals and it was time for striping!
