In Response To: 2 dimensional compound angles for floors of kayak (Violet Cloutier)

: Hi

: I am constructing a wood and canvas kayak that is designed by George Putz. It
: really doesn't describe how to get the compound angles. The question i am
: asking is this: I need to figure out how to get the angles from the strips
: to forms for the floor supports just right. Can anyone give me some tips
: on how to do this? Thanks kindly, Frustrated!!!!!! Violet

Hey Violet.. :)

Don't feel alone there. Several of us have done the same boat, or are in progress at this time. That, I believe is the most difficult task in the entire boat. If Bill Price will permit me, I'll send you to his Web-Site where he describes his method, which is about as close as it gets to a great solution.

I'm doing it another way and haven't taken any pictures as of this time, but will be doing one this evening and may load up the ole Polaroid and take a few shots of it. Will try to get them on this evening. I'm in Calif. so don't know what the time difference is. ?? Bill's method is definitly a good one.
