Hi Ron,
Hey, it ain't Hawaii, but it beats the 18" of snow in my yard.
: Here is the beveling-in-place tool I use...

I've been playing with this idea for a few years-in my head and on paper-glad to see it works for you. Should work with a trim router as well. I've seen a similar system for spiling heavy hull planking. Nice to know it can be scaled down. A great way to eliminate the time and expense of bead and cove and the fit, plane and try again of hand beveling. Now if you'd just develop a system for router cutting the lands and gains necessary for lapstrake. . .

: Bungee hooks have been very satisfactory to use

Just imagine what these made up in nylon or acrylic would do. I think you should patent them. They would appear to have applications beyond the kayak klub.

I've looked closely at Moores designs. Any particular reasons you went this way?
Don't spend too much time away from the boat answering!
