EAGLE-WD as built by Jose Reis
A photo of my Eagle's assembly jig:
The first hull strips already fastened on the assembly jig.
My "Danenberg steam generator", that I built to bend the hull
strips (from: "How to restore your Wooden Runabout", Don
Danenberg / Motorbooks International). It works very well!
Second photo: Photo of my steam box, used to "cook" the
hull strips. Impossible to avoid a certain degree of mess on this
operation.
Third photo: A hull strip already steam bent, before fastening to
the hull. No more spring-back!
