Re: Stems
Jim You should check out Bear Mountain's You Tube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/Canoecraft/videos?disable_polymer=1 . If you go to the bottom of the page and click "load more" a couple of times there are quite a few videos, some of which deal with stems. How to Laminate Stems https://www.yout...

Re: Endeavour 17 - Sheer Clamp Questions
Hi Chris 1) Sheer clamps not flush with molds - On page 83 of KayakCraft it talks about how the sheer clamp should be flush with the molds. I am not familiar with Kayakcaft, but I'm going to assume that kayak molds work similar to canoe molds. In your photos it looks to me like the side of the mold ...

Re: Redbird station 8
Brian Stations 6,7,8 are near the canoe middle ... can't see how they would be useful in shaping the stems. This is true for an asymmetric canoe such as the Freedom, which I know you've built, but not for the Redbird described in the post. If you check a symmetric canoe in Canoecraft, you will find ...

Re: Interpretation @ 1 1/2 in revised Ranger offsets
This is what Bear Mountain used to have posted for corrections. Please note that this applies to the 2000 edition of Canoecraft. I have no idea if it also applies to the 2016 edition. http://web.archive.org/web/201211081136 ... estems.htm

I'll also point you at Dawne Olsen's excellent photo album of a Bear Mountain kayak, although it doesn't have a close-up photo of what you're after. https://get.google.com/albumarchive/117 ... jDxWfbeIAR

Re: Shear Clamp vs Inner Stem
Hi Smitty I found this after some searching online. I think it's what you're after. http://media.photobucket.com/user/glenkayak/media/Sheer%20Clamps/SC-1.jpg.html There's also this, but it was the first thing google found so you've probably already seen it. I'm not sure if the bevel of the sheer cla...

Re: Table of Offsets Chestnut Prospector
This is another thing that changed in 2000. Before then, +/- did indeed mean 1/32". Since then + has meant 1/16" (- is no longer used at all)I also noticed that Brians description calls for the +/- to indicate 1/8". Whereas my book indicates 1/32" for the +/-.

Re: Table of Offsets Chestnut Prospector
Brian's link is a welcome explanation of a topic a lot of people seem to struggle with, however, since what you have is a reprint of the original edition, a lot of the terminology will be unfamiliar. Brian is working from a post-2000 edition. In the original edition, Ted invented his own modified ta...

Re: Table of Offsets Chestnut Prospector
Are these offsets from the newest edition of Canoecraft? I have the 1983 edition and the 2000 edition and I'm not seeing the numbers you're referring to. Something in the back of my brain says this was done in later editions between '83 and 2000. Anyway, I found a really old Glen Smith post that may...

Re: Inches
You've got it pretty well figured out. 1-09-4 means 1 foot, 9 inches and 4 eighths. + means to add 1 sixteenth to 4 eighths. So 1-09-4+ means 1 foot, 9 and 9/16 inches. If you are using an edition of Canoecraft published between 2000 and 2015, you need to know that there are a few errors in the dime...

When I searched the forums, the only member I could find who mentions using a spindle moulder is Alick Burt. http://buildersforum.bearmountainboats.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4576&p=28576#p28576 I haven't seen him post anything this year, so I'm not sure if he's still visiting the forum or not.
