Bevels on ends of boards? or along the edges of boards? or the plywood transom?
Stupid question possibly, but DO YOU HAVE A PLANE ? Saws cut, Planes bevel and fit.

I'd plane the bevels, possibly ruff them with a power plan and finish with a hand plane. Yes, it takes longer....but the finished result, when planed to fit with several tries, will be a better joint. piper
A plane makes no noise like a skilsaw. The noise and feel a well tuned plane makes and gives is soothing to the soul.

For your job probably something like a Jack Plane or Fore Plane......find an old one, sharpen it, not just grind the blade, big difference. Adjust ti to cut well. PM me if you want.

Went to Trade Days in Winnie today and about took off the end of my little finger on a wooden plane. :shock: Ya might know that the one plane with a sharp blade was sticking out the bottom of the plane. Lost presence of mind and put my hand on the bottom without looking.

I hate to Hi Jack a thread .... BUT..... "O" Lord I have to ask this....... How graceful are you are gargling Peanut butter. :lol: :lol: :lol:
Dam.... You are making me hurt just thinking about that " Bo Bo " you did ( Not like we have not done almost the same in the past , but will not admit it ) . Better let Winnie check out the tools before you handle them , then she can hand them to you.

I started my first paddle - a Greenland. I couldn't find the tool to taper the blades til I remembered where I left my small plane. It took a while to get it set right, since it's a $9 piece of junk from Home Despot. The depth setting feels like "all"or nothing. When I figured out I had to support the back of the paddle (since the wood was flexing & making the plane "chatter"), it was magic. The plane just glided, and long ribbons of shavings fell off. Probably mundane for folks with more experience, but it made my day. After five hours with the plane, jigsaw, and handsaw, I have a bowtie shaped 2x4.
Even the regular tasks have a rhythm about them. Take the carving of a violin’s head as an example. The wood is selected, then two faces are planed square and flat. The maker lays out the outline and saws it out, then hollows the pegbox and begin the turns of the volute. Carving large chips first, then smaller ones until he scrapes the gouge marks away...and moves on to the next job. Over and over he does these things, thinking about each push of the tool while imagining the finished instrument, even while parts of it are still under the bench. Real makers dream of violins that are still standing out in the forest. Perhaps they dream of the violins others will make after their passing.
At times the men spoke quietly and the work continued. The bright chips continued to hit the floor . At times the conversational silence was broken by the little noises the scraper made when pulled along the edge of an instrument. These workmen were so proficient, so well practiced, that even when talking about things which concerned them, their attention never wandered far from the job at hand.
Whisp.......whisp.........tap-tap.....the shuffling of a foot....it was just another day in the shop.

Actually, Ger, Piper San may be the one guy whom I do trust with a sharp object. Unless I'm a block of wood, that is. Even his wood shavings have an artistic flair about them. (Or, was that autistic?)
Got one by you Jack. I figured you would pick up on the "release pending" part. Actually, that's the release of the book, not the writer. piper
Yer a sly dog, Piper San. I figured that you would escape prior to your release day anyway.
What was your shoot-down date? That was a prime consideration in release of our prisoners from North Viet Nam.

Well, let's see.......as I remember Mary Ellen Johnson shot me down in front of all my buddies in the lunchroom at Roosevelt Jr High School in the Autumn of 1965.
