Lou,
Do a bit of surfing and learn about story sticks.
Draw your parts fullsize.
(CAD can be such a pain - just use a pencil and paper or cardboard etc
You dont need much math to do it very accurately.

As an apprentice I made a monumental balls up in the WorkSkills Australia national finals that probably cost me 1st or 2nd place. Despite being in engineering in one form or another since I rarely fly into building something without a sketch. I figure if I can draw it I can build it....which is why I never got into yacht building:confused: .. Do the sketches and it doesn't really matter if they are not to scale (unless your into the art side of things ) and mark all your dimensions. Use the plastic brain to check and you at least wont make monumental stuff ups with expensive materials .
There are some great tips hereabouts for cutting plans on sheet material.
"Unconeer" can be downloaded free from http://www.katmarsoftware.com. Its a unit conversion program.
How the hell do you do a pye symbol on a qwerty keyboard??

NewLou, your thread was moved here, because you are calling for website links, hence it is now in the appropriate forum.
Boys, while I appreciate your humor, lets try and keep this thread on track as it will no doubt become a very valuable source of info. SO for that reason only your posts were deleted.
