Steam bending was quite fun and everyone learned a lot.

Just a box with a boiling pot and pipe attached is all the steam bender is.

 

Arnt made a knot to show how flexible the wood becomes.

All clamped up and ready for riveting.

Skippers Rob O’Dea and Arnt Arntzen sailed their two boats ODIN and ERN around Vancouver Island and completed 1.745 kilometers over 60 days.

They will be doing a talk and slide show in partnership with the Maritime Museum and Oarlock and Sail.
