Pinstripe
I can't say how this one was done, but you could always laminate a 5/8 inch plank and a 1/8 plank, then rip your strips off that and bead and cove normally.rabblerouser wrote:I really like these simple pinstripes

Does anyone know how they are done?

Snowman, I'll definitely have to have a good head-scratching session over this idea of using a triangular sheer clamp. As soon as I read of your idea of planing off the back of the clamp instead of using a fillet, I got out Kayakcraft to look at the various drawings and pictures. The first issue th...

I too routed my strips on the climb. I built a housing through which I fed my strips with two featherboards before the router. Not one strip flew and all were easily controlled, and all were pushed through at an easy feed rate with the aid of the pull of the router. I can recommend it as the cove co...

Re: Share your perspective?
Why have you built your own boat? I like woodwork and I like kayaking so combined the two. What method did you use and why? Kayak no 1 was plywood, as i was a kid ad strip was outside my scope. Kayak no 2 was fibreglass from a club mould. It was a slalom kayak. Kayak no 3 was an Endeavour, and my fi...

I can only echo Glen's advice. I paddle an Endeavour without rudder and have not regretted the decision until today. If you have any reasonable paddling experience, you will be able to control the kayak without it. A rudder always adds work to put it in and the controls. It also adds breakable part....

holding strips to forms
Hi again Lisa
I had the same trouble. Hot mix did help, but where it lets go you could simply use fine fishing line around the stip and tie it to the form inside. The line can be pulled out later and you won't be able to see where it was.

rudder on Endeavour
Hi Lisa, I would first look at your skill level. If you haven't had much experience a rudder can be of much help. However, if you want to learn how to control a kayak first, don't put a rudder on it until you have learned that. If your intention is to go on long exposed trips a rudder can come in ha...
