WE ARE PREPARING TO STEAM OUR GARBOARDS IN OUR CUSTOM STEAMER. WE ONLY NEEDED TO STEAM THE ENDS WHERE MOST OF THE BEND AND TWIST TAKES PLACE.

AFTER WE STEAMED  THE MAHOGANY GARBOARDS WE QUICKLY CLAMPED THEM  INTO PLACE

STEAMING AND PLACING MAHOGANY PLANKS PROVED TO BE A CHALLENGE. THE WOOD HAS A MEMORY AND AFTER WE UNCLAMPED IT WOULD SPRING BACK TO IT'S ORIGINAL SHAPE . IT TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS AND ON THE SPOT STEAMING  FINALLY WE SCREWED IT INTO PLACE WITH TEMPORARY FASTENERS UNTIL WE WERE  READY TO PERMANENTLY FASTEN IN PLACE

THE TEMPORARY FASTENERS
