: I am not always happy with modern tools, ...

: Only problem I have is supporting the ply for a long curved cut, a problem I
: solve with a panel power saw with the ply resting on a plastic foam. Any
: ideas out there?

If you look at my website you will see I am sold on Old Arn and handtools. I find much better value and service with the "antiques".

What I do sometimes is lay a sheet of ply on the saw horses with a couple of Toobys (2x4's) underneath. Easy to move around and provide the support needed. If your dealing with long scarfed pieces multiple saw horses and toobys'?

Getting close to staring my boat, Going to be 18' so that is some long flimsy panels. But I have a 14 or 15 feet of table set up at my Radial Arm Saw station. I am going to rip the ply to 2 foot widths, scarf and trim them on this table.
