I own a small tooling business, and deal with measurements of thousandths of
an inch and less every day. What I like about boat building, is the freedom
to have variations of hundreds of thousandths of an inch. Instead of a
scribe, I can mark cuts with a felt tip pen. The reality is that if you are
accurate within 1/8" to 1/4" , no one will notice, and it won't matter
anyway. Take a deep breath and "just do it" it'll be fine.

I own a small tooling business, and deal with measurements of thousandths of
an inch and less every day. What I like about boat building, is the freedom
to have variations of hundreds of thousandths of an inch. Instead of a
scribe, I can mark cuts with a felt tip pen. The reality is that if you are
accurate within 1/8" to 1/4" , no one will notice, and it won't matter
anyway. Take a deep breath and "just do it" it'll be fine.

We are assembling the forward hull of the folding schooner. Looks like
we got all our bevels right. We want to screw it together dry and make
sure it is as straight as we can get it before gluing. I have put a
string down the center line for reference and we are checking diagonals
as we go. Any advice on getting a nice straight assembly would be
appreciated.We are working off the chine line and figure to take out
any extra on the sheer.
Thanks for all the help from the group.

we got all our bevels right. We want to screw it together dry and make
sure it is as straight as we can get it before gluing. I have put a
string down the center line for reference and we are checking diagonals
as we go. Any advice on getting a nice straight assembly would be
appreciated.We are working off the chine line and figure to take out
any extra on the sheer.
Thanks for all the help from the group.
