In Response To: lofting question *PIC* (Paul G. Jacobson)

: Some people use cheap 1/4" lauan plywood ( about $10 for a 4x8
: sheet) and lay out the lines for just half of the building form.

Hi Paul,
I lofted the offsets and made forms for the strip version of the Nikumi SOF that I am building. I used heavy construction paper, how I wish I would have used lauan plywood. That seems a much better way, I suppose I can transfer the paper to lauan however.
Thanks for the detail info you provide,
Clayton Plunkett
