From the Orca Boats series of videos on building wood strip boats, this shows the process of fairing a cedar strip canoe in preparation for applying fiberglass and epoxy.
I could watch the craftsmanship that goes into you canoes allllll day!

Your notes say finish sand with an orbital. Is that still with #120, or do you go finger than that? AWESOME work.

I don't go any finer than 120 before epoxy coating and glassing.

Thanks. Funny how some either like the music or really hate it.

I plained a 3/8"thk. X 6"wide X 11ft. fairing board, with stategectly placed handles, and big clamps that hold sand paper roll from Grizzly.

Videos are intended to for the first timer and likely those that will be making only one boat. If you are building more than one, then making a nice fairing board can be useful.

I would never use a Belt sander. They are too aggressive ! Nor do I use water.
Never never ever be dumb enough to make the mistake of using a belt sander on a strip canoe. Besides the easy ruin of gouging there is an end result of waves between those 12" distance forms, because there is more resistance when belt sander goes over strips in that form area! Laying a 96" straight edge over your bottom hull will tell you that your eyes don't betray you. Never layed out some one elses design. Your asking for problems with those standard 12" form spacings. I use 8"or less spacing of forms. Use a 20ft. strip of cedar as a flexable curve for waterlines . Draw out your center widest form for with the shape that best represents your water stability or performance experience. I draw out incremental water lines from bottom of hull to gunnels Full Scale on frezzer wrap or heavy template paper. I cross-sect those water lines with each form postion at a 90 degree to the straight consistant edge of that freezer wrap(the linear lenght center line of your canoe). The rest is measuring each spot a waterline crosses a form line. Use a "T" square to point plot to plywood drafting out each form. Of course you can always make a boat that just floats. Made 22 canoes and on my 23rd. Started build experience back in 1967. Seen master builders Jensen ,Sawyer, Peterson, V.Kruger, and many more first hand.

I would be very interested in seeing some of your videos on your process where maybe you can explain your process on your KZitem channel. I have used the belt sander for many years and have built over 100 strip built boats and dozens of other types of crafts. I would not classify it as "dumb" if you are gentle and careful. In another reply, you state you have an 11 ft fairing board. Is that correct and what size boat are you fairing with an 11 ft board.

Don't do stills or videos. Too much chance to gouge with belt sander. I have a marathon canoe racing heritage and come from an era where cast female moldings of all fiber glass boats were frozen in design& weight, so around the middle 60's racers built their own canoes. There were various differing ruling bodies on the continent 16 ft. in Canada(later change to 18ft.-6" with 27"wide@3" waterline and 33" wide@ gunnels). Unlimited class were often 24ft "V" or "Pee" bottom. Currently building very exoitic 18ft-6" pro boat pattern makers plug quality. That faring board is the best to achieve near perfect hull for making a female mold for commercially producing Carbon Fiber TexTreme 26lbs 5k to 6k$ pro boats. Currently running 54 forms no gunnels a canopied canoe 16"@ bow/11"@ center& stern. I have two 45mmx90mm "T" slotted Aluminum in a joined "T" shape as strong back. Machined out the two holes at the ends of the upright Aluminum extrusion(45x90mm). Run two 1/2" 1045 gr/polished dowels at bow&stern that go into rotary indexers(36count of 10 degree intervals). The rig i have is completely adjustable,so i can build any boat,kayak, or canoe from 2ft. to 24ft.lenght as well as adjust for beam of 1ft. to5ft. 2400$ of Bosch Rexroth Aluminum Framing Systems sliding comonents and adjustable lenght strong backs. Using 11ft linearly cut Balsa machined into 1/2" boards 6" wide. Did the same for a stack of 72'' Balsa. Got a new 107" lock down flexible curve(Woodriver Curved Template bought from Woodcrafter store). Lay my curve against all the waterlines i traced from each form and lock down curve transfering lines to Balsa. 1/2"thk. hull is achieved(finished to 3/8"). Have 800 square feet of beautiful 108" Ziricote 1/42" veneer to be custom bookmatch& vac bagged to balsa. By now you can envision why i probably wouldn't put this out blow by blow to a public.. Thanks for your videos,and feed back as like me we are pros at this!
