Finished stripping gunnels!  Done with stripping for now (whew)

I have also removed one rib near the rear, and will use this location to do a test rib.  Rib was removed by chipping to and around a nail with a chisel, snipping the end off the nail and removing it from the outside.  Tedious, but not bad.

Now to buy materials for a steamer.  Current plan is to use a camp stove with a small (5.5" D) pot.  A 4" to 6" PVC junction placed on top.  4' of 4" drier flex hose to another 4" to 6" PVC junction.  5' of 6" PVC pipe with coat hanger wire drilled through for a 'shelf'.  Hopefully, I can fire up the stove and there will be enough heat to keep the steam to the end of my steam box.  I am worried that the steam might cool off too much, condense and run back without getting the end hot and steamy, but we shall see.

Out of town for the upcoming weekend, but hopefully another post soon with the results.
