[QUOTE="popperpitcher, post: 282770, member: 9944"] Though I haven't done exactly what you are doing, I have built wood boats. To get the shape of the deck I would make an undersize template. Cut a triangle of wood, say 6" on a side. Set the template in place. Position a corner of the triangle against the hull and trace the triangle on the template. Repeat this in as many locations as you wish. Place the template on the plywood. Place the triangle in the tracing and trace it on the plywood. Do this in all the positions. Remove the template. Cut a pine batten about 1/4" X 3/4" X 8' Position the batten so that it contacts the point of each triangle and trace along the batten to get the cutting line. Easy-peasy to do but hard to describe. If there is interest I can probably do some sort of cartoon to describe it better. Jack [/QUOTE]
