A small note on measuring tapes, they are not all created equal. Various tapes can vary as much as 1/8" measuring the same dimension. Stretch out a few tapes together and compare. Aircraft building is more "dimensionally intolerant" than kayak building but the principal is the same. On any particular project I always use the same tape from start to finish, gives me the beat chance of all parts fitting together at assembly.
