    panel accuracy

    I'm thinking about allowing my kids to do the cutting on our Laker builds. I have put a zero clearance plate on my jig saw. Just how much give is there in thwe accuracy of the panels? If they go off the line to the outside, not a problem but if they go inside the line we may have problems.

    purchased 4 sheets of meranti last night. The one good side is beautiful although I may have to stain it, it is very blonde. The other side will require some creative hiding of uglyness. (read paint) 4 sheets is not enuff for 2 boats but I have allot of scrap left from previous projects...

    weekend Dutch oven cooking
