I was quoted saying, "...most of the folks at Chesapeake Light Craft (CLC) use plaing bars with
black pads and straps to secure their S&G..."

And Larry wondered:  "What is a plaing bar with pad  and what an S & G?"

The straight answer --- 'cause I can't think of anything clever --- is that "plaing" in "plain" miswritten, and "S&G" is stitch and glue, a technique for building boats from thin plywood panels; the panels are stitched up with pieces of copper wire (or other materials) and glued together with epoxy.
