| Constructing the Cheemaun Form |
| (Another fine design from Rollin Thurlow) |
 |
| As usual, everything starts with some rough lumber - in this case a 2x8 piece of spruce..... |

 |
| Trace, cut, and belt sand pairs of station molds from plywood.... |
| Mount brackets for all of the station molds on the strong back...... |
| Mount the station molds to the strong back...... |
| Ready to mount the rail backer to the station molds - this was one of the hardest things to do - all of these bends are done without steam. These are 16' pieces of clear pine - not easy to find, expensive, and puts the pressure on you to not break them.....no problem for my "nerves of steel".....(I could always blame it on the boy....) |
