Hey Nick the aluminum strongback is the way to go . I made one of plywood (per your book) but a bit more flex than I was comfortable with. Building your Great Auk design and I stretched it by 8" so now 17' 8" . Dabble in woodworking as a hobby but nothing ever like this....time consuming but loads of fun watching it take shape. Jointed, planed and ripped my own strips and am hand planning them to fit each other over the curvatures of the forms ( vs bead and cove) ......it's a labor of love.
The strong back is an aluminum extrusion, 2"x4" with 1/8" walls. As delivered it was 20' long. Using a diagonal cut, I got 2 pieces each 13' long. I purchased it through Yarde Metals and they delivered it. Before I used it I rounded over the corners using a 1/4" radius round-over bit in my router.
@@NickSchade I see that the forms extend slightly beyond the extrusion, so for a 14ft kayak (e.g. Petrel Play), will a 12ft extrusion work? There are two standard lengths 12ft and 20ft that my local supplier has, and the smaller is about 30% cheaper.
my friend u could help me, I am woodworker and would faser a kayak and if you could send this form and measures the length and width of the kayak thanks for helping me and how do I get in touch with you
Where can i finde the measurement? me and my schoolmate a going to make a canoe before thursday, so if someone have a plan for a 2 or 3 man canoe please write to me! :D thanks Magnus

Bongo drums & cymbals?!...oh,...now a muffled trumpet!... what a geek!

Hey Nick where did you get the aluminum strongback. Sources and dimensions would be nice; thanks in advance.

I can build one of Andrew Linn's Lazy Weekend Canoes in the time it would take to set your strong back up. the trumpet was obnoxious too.
MDF - Medium Density Fiberboard
this boat looks really heavy. what is your expected weight once completed?
Now pull a couple molds from it.

What's that material you're using for the forms?
beautiful work...what's the name of music please?
i think dizzy gillespie a bit shocked at complaints about music
