[QUOTE="oakchas, post: 421182, member: 18746"] Tick, tickle, toggle, joggle! The tick stick method of duplicating patterns. Tick sticks are also called by the other names above. Here's a piece of paper mostly centered in the area I need to duplicate for the casting deck with the tick stick: [img]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160905/dc0091b9997841b5fd1cebc24fc9e128.jpg[/img] Here's the resultant marked piece of paper (don't know if you can see the tracings of the tick stick inn pencil): [img]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160905/c829570a627b7b3707646efe97eda849.jpg[/img] Placed on the board to be cut; aligning the aft port tick mark to the factory corner, and the starboard aft tick mark to the factory edge (aft is at the top of the picture). The dots are connected (on the plywood to be cut) with a flexible steel rule, pressed against finish nails to make a fair curve: [img]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160905/42838be4bd5f55030b5a720953b671b9.jpg[/img] Here's the resultant casting deck in place, with the storage cubby floor, the cubby access, and the foredeck: [img]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160905/8882eac7d0149eb5e693a134c7ceee39.jpg[/img] I also ground off the old front seat brackets. They'll be covered with some led courtesy lights. [/QUOTE]
