An 1/8th blade is 3.1mm. Is this too wide? A table saw with a couple

If there is any chance of the stringers moving when the treads are
removed you could use strips of 1/4 ply to stabilize them while the

You should be able to find something like this. I use these on my

You just need to repost. I did a search and this is the only post you
have, even though it shows you have three.

BTW, I have a twelve foot ply boat as well.

For easy set up and lazy days sailing you might consider a

It is a shame they don't have a Nobel prize for woodworking.

I really liked the one on boat building.

The table works on the difference in length of the legs. Only problem
is it only works on perfect floors. Dust free and smooth.

The expanding works on cams and rollers.

T&G should be nailed in the tongue and there should be no nail holes.

I would recommend renting or finding a nailer at a pawn shop. You
really don't need an air one, the manuals work fine.

I wonder how much varnish they will soak up??:o:o:o

Is there a lip under the bottom of the drawer? A center runner would

It is heavy enough for most use. Sometimes I put a block of

Couple of tips:

Use 1/4" line, it can be soft, a little stretch is good. If you secure the

On your head sail question, I always used a down haul, we called them

Well, it is very simple.

First I clean the glass real good. Then I cover it with Magic Cover.
Then I glue my pattern to the cover. Cut it out, apply Armour Etching
Compound and wait ten minutes....

Yes I do the etching, it took about three hours. It chimes, here is the
sound.
