: Hi Bill

: I always intend doing that, but taking off enough to line the
: cradle with some carpet or some-such. But I end up being to mean
: to leave that much material on the off-cuts. Maybe if I was
: going to build more than one copy of a particular design I would
: do it. An interesting thread may be what people use for forms. I
: use anything that is lying around the workshop and can end up
: with chipboard, MDF and ply all in a row on the same boat. Some
: of the forms are usually cut from the old forms of previous
: boats as well. I never seem to want to do two boats the same. A
: new design is too intriguing.

: Et

I've never built more than one of the same either, well except for the classes, far easier to teach what you've done before :)

I kinda prefer plywood, but think I may try MDF for the next one, which I really should be working on now, but the shop "still" isn't done, putting up storage shelves today and tomorrow.
