: - well, thank you for sharing that with us, Bill!

: While we're into confessions, for my plywood boats I rely on
: symmetry rather than string or measurement as I don't trust my
: eyes anymore. I cut the planks for the two sides at the same
: time, make sure the ends meet exactly on the stems - I am
: close-sighted so that's no problem for me - and so far the boats
: have come out symmetrical as far as I can see. Of course, in
: view of what I just said about my eyesight . . . no! dammit,
: they're prefect!
