Wooden Trailer
I built one wooden trailer from plans that John Marples sold me. I
wish I had had some of the information on these rather slow loading
pages:

"Uncle Bob's $50 trailer" on page five looks as though it might be
usueful.

Ford, et al --
I can't believe how well this worked. The resulting fit was no more
than a 1/16" out, probably less!

geometry. If you can't find one, you can get one at CVS or Walgreens.
2) Prop the board in approximately the right position, as best you
can without it being shaped.
3) Set compass to a likely width and drag it with the point on the
line where you want the board to sit and pencil drawing a line on the
board, holding the compass vertical all the while.

David,
With the hull upside down:
1. Set the oak on edge in the proper position for the skeg. Tape or hold
it so it won't shift.
2. Hold a pencil on top of a 1 in. thick piece of wood. Put the wood on
the hull with the pencil point touching the oak.
3. Slide the wood and pencil along the hull so the pencil draws a line
on the oak a little more than an inch from the hull. The line will be
parallel to the hull's curve.
Adjust the thickness of the piece of wood if you need a line closer to
or farther from the hull.
Good luck,
Ford Walton

FBBB --
I got a hunk of oak to make a skeg for my Gull, but I'm a little lost
on how to draw the curve of the bottom on the plank. Anyone got an
online step by step for scribing?
