: Hi Douglas, If there are some major differences in dimensions it
: might be worthwhile starting over again. However, if there are
: only small differences, you can always glue a thin band of wood
: to the form edge and reshape the form. Don't just panic and
: start over. Take the time to closely examine what you have and
: what you need. You may not be that far off.
: Enjoy your Thanksgiving.

Hi Glen,
I have found that getting started correctly and accurately the first time around will save me years of anxiety. I just finished my first build and it took me 12 years to do it. My frustration caused me to walk away from the boat for years at a time.
So, for this boat and future builds, I want to get off on the right foot and not have to cover up or re-do things that I messed up when I got started. Thanks to you I'm getting started on the right foot on this build.
Douglas
