: I just use a carpenters handsaw. The blade is flexible enough to
: take a curve but stops wiggles that a jigsaw could induce. The
: planks are laid on the building table which when inverted has
: the "V" pieces to hold the bottom planks to the
: correct "V" shape - same angles as the bulkheads and
: fitted in the same places.

: As for matching panels, I often bolt them together with 3 or 4, 4
: mm (3/16") bolts. The wiring holes need to be filled so a
: few more holes won't be noticed. however that wasn't good enough
: for my partner, she insisted on clamping her's together so that
: there wouldn't be holes. Once bolted or clamped they go in a
: B&D Workmate and the curves on the keel and chine are
: faired. Basically, make sure the same "mistake" is on
: both sides. The side panels are treated the same way.

: As I'm the one doing the designing, I use my wood patterns but with
: a new design or modifications, carbon paper under paper
: patterns.

: Dictaphone - depends how far back you want to go. The old valve
: (tube - US) ones definitely didn't fit in your pocket and
: digital was decades away. (Now who is gray haired?)

: Alex

Hair? what's hair?

Ok, I still have some left...it's on it's way though.
