The site "paddling.net", probably known to most of you, explains a genious way to cut bulkheads to fit in your boat. It's worth a look: http://www.paddling.net/sameboat Niels.<<<< Very clever. Interestingly, I read an article in Fine Homebuilding magazine on something very similar to this, also described as an "old time" building technique called "ticksticking"--mostly used by carpeters for cutting difficult patterns for finish wood working. The only difference I could see is that instead of using a sawtooth pattern, ticksticking just uses a straight, narrow, pointed stick with pencil marks to establish the position for each measurement. Definitely a useful trick.
