Subject: Re: [baidarka] ribbing progress
I finished my ribs! This time around, it went better, although I redid every
rib to get the shape I needed. I conclude that the single biggest success
factor is the straightness of the grain. As I breeze through (hopefully) the
chines and keel and prepare to skin, I can't help but question how I will
transport my valuable cargo the 600 miles to the BWCAW. Any ideas? My
concern is torqueing the frame all out of shape ( I like to secure things
well). I entertained the idea of creating a webbing harness (ala chinese
finger puzzle) to spread out the stress...any ideas? Or am I being anal again?
