Finishing up an 8' John Gardner pram. I'd planned on covering them with strips of metal. They're made of Douglas Fir (I'm in the NW). I laid out the metal on a stringer and it didn't line up, as if...

Thanks to all

I'm laminating four 1/4" red oak pieces to form oarlock mounts. The inwales and outwales have a twist so I need to apply pressure to bend the laminate to hold that shape until the epoxy dries. My...

Thanks for the pictures. Any more would be appreciated.
