: The only thing I use the radial arm for is square cross cuts. I don't have a

: job, but like I said, you have to be careful. All my father had was a
: radial arm, and he was a better woodworker than I am likely to be. Very
: careful and methodical. I'm kinda slapdash. I just use the pile and plane
: method for scarfs myself. Takes time, but I love planing, so I don't
: really care. I also have a jointer plane which makes it sort of fun. If I
: ever start making a lot of skin on frames, I'll probably change my ways.
: That ends up being a LOT of planing.

On strip kayaks I just butt joint the pieces. It's a core, not structural wood. A spring clamp or two usually keeps them in line till the glue sets up.
