: sof to s&g

: get some of that free adhesive shelf paper from terry hanson, stick on a sof
: panel and mark out the seams. lift off and use as pattern to cut out ply.
: make some temp forms for rocker control.

: or s&g to sof: take width measurements for ea beam location. make top frame
: to suit dims. take sectional shape measurements at say 4 or 5 locations
: and make temp ply sections to hold stringers at the chine. add stringers
: on temp forms and bend ribs to hit stringers. remove temp forms. same
: approach as many sof's except more forms used for more exact shaping.

Thanks for the idea. The chines of an sof is not exactly a thin line but more a thin surface `5/8". So, some fudging would occur. I suppose if the panels don't quite line up, fiberglass filets would hide the mistakes?

Please clarify: are you building S-O-F or S&G?
