The four new ribs are taken off of the canoe to finish setting while I remove the smashed ribs that they will be replacing.
There is a lot of wood to remove! Not much left, is there?
And here they are installed. Now I am ready to replace the planking that has been removed.
A long shot of the canoe all closed back up, sanded, and ready for varnishing of the interior. The interior requires a minimum of four coats of varnish, each coat sanded and cleaned of all dust before the next coat is applied. After the varnish is complete the canoe exterior can be prepared for canvassing.
These plastic boxes are great for holding all of the necessary fasteners that could be needed. It never fails that what you think that you will need does not include what you really need.
