: Hi,

: Panel development is only math so in generally I would believe there should
: not be any errors in Freeship. Some people have had problems but that's
: been in the user side :). In Freeship the user can control the shape and
: bendings which can be misleading because you can create shapes not
: possible to make in S&G. In other hand a very large part of users have
: created their kayaks well by using Freeship.

: Of course there might be real problems, but as far I've haven't seen one.

: In kayak building there's difficult parts such as joining the long panels
: correctly. Also taking the panel thickness in calculations can be a bit
: difficult at times. Then there's small mistakes in drawing and sawing
: which can easily mean the panels won't fit together perfectly.

: Toni.

That would be completely true if you were building in a material like sheet metal that will evenly bend in all directions. Plywood though won't do that, so it's not totally math. It's math blended with experience, something that's slightly harder to put into an equasion :)
