ALOT Step 3

This step is fairly simple- cut along the line you have just drawn.  Ok, a bit easier said then done.  You need to be careful to cut this line as if it is not smooth, it will be difficult to have the plywood bottom mate to the sides.

This is easiest to accomplish with a jigsaw with a brand new, wood cutting blade.  Next, be sure to cut to the outside of the line to give you a chance to stop the saw prior to blasting through the hull sides.   Cut slowly and remember to breathe.  If things get off track, stop the saw, back up and try again.


Once you have finished cutting, use a block wrapped with sandpaper or a plane to even the line up about halfway through the pencil line.

Save the left over pieces as one will form another piece as you get to the end.

Congratulations, you now have two sides to a boat!

Tools needed- jig saw, plane,or rasp or coarse sandpaper and a wood block.
