: When marking out the planks for cutting also mark the midships
: station location on each one. Start the drilling from there
: working fore and aft along the chines at regular internals,
: about 6" is OK for a mild bend, on all planks. Make up a
: small jig so this is done accurately, a piece of ply with 2
: holes 6" apart (or so) with a small nail through one hole
: will work fine. This will ensure the holes line up for
: stitching.

Suture self. (teehehe. Sorry, sometimes I just can't help it.)
