Day 3 - hull and rib bending

Day 3 was a beautiful sunny day. Having most decks nearly finished, the goal today was to get as much done on the hull as possible. That involves stern and bow pieces, keelson and ribs that has to be steam bent.

Tiago in the picture above comes from Portugal. He's a chef, and works in a restaurant in Stord, Western Norway. He builds a baidarka for sea kayak touring. His baidarka was the first to have ribs bent today.

I'll add a few pictures of steam bending ribs tomorrow. There is one kayak to go - Steve's baidarka that is. My hands are tired, and I', totally exhausted after all this great work.
