The Risk of Sea Kayaking
I consider myself a cautious paddler, yet I have been "boarded" by the Coast Guard 3 times in the past year. "Boarding" is what the Coast Guard calls it when they stop you on the water for a safety check.

Sorting strips for book matching from a 1-1/2" x 12" vertical grained board
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.
In this episode I take the wood I purchased in the last episode, and starting breaking it down in to strips. I have a 2x8 that I am ripping into 3/4" wide blanks, and a 1x12 that I am ripping directly into strips. I talk about how I get vertical grain strips out of vertical grained boards.
