After truing up the top edge of the waterline cut, I rip some accent strips and install them.

Continuing with the stripping. Using a robo-bevel to fit the strips.

Installing the first strips on my microBootlegger Sport sea kayak. Discussion about keeping all the matching strips organized and in order.

Sorting strips for book matching from a 3/4" x 12" flat grained board

Spending a little time shaping the inner stems

Finally getting the forms strung on the strongback. I discuss the spacer system and how to true up the forms.

Cutting forms and making mistakes with the ShopBot. CNC router bit discussion.

In this episode after messing up some strips in the previous episode, I redo milling the strips for the body of the kayak. I cut down a 2x12 into 3/4" blanks and then rip those blanks into 3/16" strips. In the middle I take a break and talk about my table saw setup.

In this episode I start breaking down the blanks into 3/16" thick strips. This was going fine until I lost concentration.
