: 2. Figure out the actual size and shape of the bow and stern frame pieces. I
: noticed a small line drawing of the bow piece on graph paper in Morris'
: book. But I haven't found any specific direction on how to size and shape
: the bow and stern piece. Is this one of those "organic" elements
: of building an SOF, building what suits the eye?

hi Jim;
when i built my morris inspired sof i assumed that the graph was one inch squares. it worked, but only vaguely. make a cardboard or thin plywood pattern first and see how it fits. i didn't like the looks of it as drawn and modified it to suit my tastes.
daren.

: Thanks - Jim
