Shearwater Sectional from Plans
Finally made some saw dust.
Looking forward to this build with my 13 year old daughter and 16 year old son. Photos available at https://shearwaterkayakbuild.shutterfly.com/
So far:
- First sheet of plans put on plywood and holes punched along lines. Used thumb tacks for first sheet, switching to an awl so holes are easier to spot.
- Brads tapped into holes.
- Flexible straight edge used to connect dots between lines.
- Plywood cut 2mm proud of lines with saber saw. I know a circ saw cuts straighter but we have the 2mm and the sabersaw is easier to handle.
We have 2 more sheets to cut than some butt joints to work on... Any tips are most welcome.

Tracing Plans to wood using brads tapped into pinholes that were pushed through plan.
We have CLC T Shirts, dust masks, safety goggles - need a hair scrunchy though.
Switching to using an awl. We did first sheet of ply with thumb tack. Hard to use and the holes were oh so tiny.
