C/W cover on thumb turns; pretty good match considering it's from further down the sheet.

Ah yes, I have used gobs of HM to make patterns. Works great, if you use dots you can even pop them apart and re-use the bigger pieces.

Nice use of the template too!

Gert, I think you're doing an awesome job. . . but why do you bother cutting a straight edge with a router when that edge is going to be buried in a fillet when the bulkhead is tabbed to the hull? I don't understand the necessity of that perfect edge in this case. Isn't the skilsaw cut good enough here?

[oakman]

Ssshhhh he's practicing for when that bulkhead is raised panel mahogany and he has to fit it to a solid wood clinker, fastened to cleats with oval head slotted SB screws. . .
