After buying 1/8" bendable Poplar plywood, I decided that I didn't have to make a flat bottomed canoe. So, I changed my plans to something a little more elegant and challenging. The new boat plans should make an ultralight 30 lb canoe with a curved hull.
Here is a picture of the setup. Its pretty klugy, but I am working with what I have. All I did this weekend was finish procuring the tools I need, cut the plywood in half the long way, and mark up the plywood for cutting the rest of the hull. The second photo is a close up of the two sheets of plywood. Working with such thin pieces makes me nervous. I will be surprised if I get through this without having to buy an extra piece.
