: Nice vice and nice skinny work-bench.

: I think loads of builders who have not used square edged strips overestimate
: the amount of planing that is actually required. Much of a boat requires
: little or no beveling at all, especially on the deck.

: I actually think that cove and bead require substantially more work, in their
: preparation, and in their fitting, In particular where one wants to
: book-match the ends at the bow and stern on the deck and end up cutting
: off the curves anyway.

: Is there anyone out there who has gone from Cove and Bead to flat edged
: strips and then back to C & B again? I suppose there must be.

: I know this has come up on the forum many times before, but then I suppose so
: have most other topics at one time or another.

: I really feel that it is easier to get a spot on job with flat strips and a
: little planing, especially if one clamps between stations.

: Now I am going to duck and wait for fallout.

: In this day and age of automated mass production isn't it great that everyone
: works in a different way?

: There are so many paths to a destination. We DIYers are doing our part to
: keep that knowledge alive.

: Happy paddling everyone.

Hi Et,

I just feel cutting the C&B takes way too much time for what you gain. The C&B sounds like a great idea at first, but causes as many problems as it cures. To me it's a poor compromise, but that's just me :)
