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

Hi Violet,

As Rehd mentioned my method seemed to work reasonably well. The floors on the very ends are the hardest and have the most severe angles. Get it as close as possible. Making a practice piece with cardboard helps too. You might take a look at Roger Nuffers page (see user profiles above). He probably made the going a little easier by not scalloping between stringers. Whatever you do, keep on trying! You'll get there :-)
