[QUOTE="Ron42261, post: 31436, member: 479"] Bill Sorry I just seen your post I dont know how the other guys did theirs I did mine by making a templet. I used scribes to make my templet. Scribes are a compass looking thing carpenters use to fit something to an uneven surface. A compass will work I even used a wood block and a pencil. The idea is to stay paralel to the surface . Get you some cardboard and tape - I used like 10in wide strips of card board You need to know where your floor line is - when I did my bow I would hold the strip of cardboard agisnt one side at floor line. Set the scribe at the wides gap between the cardboard and the boat. Now stay at about 90deg from where the scribe touches the side and draw your line on the cardborad. Play with it youll see how to do it.Fit a side and work your way around tape the cardboard together. It doesnt need to fit perfect and needs a bit of space to wrap the carpet over the side and staple it on the bottom. You may need to cut the patteren and re scrbe a few times each time it will get better , I had to do it twice on a few cuts of the patteren (rivets &laps ) Another reason I would not try to fit it to tight the bevel of the sides leave your self an 1/8 in or maybe a little more gap. Carpet will take care of small gaps Its easy I have fit loads of cabinets over the years Ron [/QUOTE]
