Ready to cut

Finally got the panels all layed out.  I was kind of tricky figuring out how to fit all 4 panels on a 4 ft. wide sheet of plywood, but Microsoft Excel came to my rescue.  I punchedthe panel offsets into Excel and plotted the points on a graph.  I could then shift and flip the panels as a whole and arrange them to my hearts content.  The added benefit was that I could now make all my measurements from a common baseline, the sheet edge.  Anyway, it is all done now, just need to cut them out!  I have included a picture of my son David sitting on the "new boat."  I can't wait to take him out in it!

  1. Hmmm, Dave looks a little skeptical. Maybe he wants you to paint it blue instead of pink?
