Welcome to my brain. It’s messy. It’s interesting. And it’s all connected if you stick around long enough. "Believe Nothing: no matter who said it, even if I have said it, except it agree with your own reason and common sense. Siddhartha Guatamo, the Buddha.

Dio vs Yak rnd7 (part 2)

First up, the white oak I cut from that lightning struck tree was pretty pliable raw. I bent a couple of ribs last night just to see how things would work, figuring if I broke one, it was gonna break anyway.

This morning before getting the rest of my world moving (but AFTER I got my coffee fix in.) I took an old t-shirt and some scrap pieces of wood and set up a ‘skin’ sample. Mostly so I can answer questions people local are asking. Looks good to me.

Then, (que intro)

El Cheapo Steamer!!!

And roughly one hour later,

I did break a few, but had my spare wood lined up, the gage, a sharpie, and a japan saw. Cut, label, put in steamer, next piece up, move on. I also had one break so suddenly, it cracked the gunwale. Thats what those clamps are doing in that picture: holding things closed while the titebondIII does what it does.

Yaknow, its starting to look like a kayak.
