My guess is that it would not be strong enough. Once you cut the ply into strips the glue joint is reduced to a very small area which is why it requires so much material to scarf.

Thanks for the ideas.

Thanks for the responses. I had already looked into building a jig for my router or skilsaw so that is what I'll do. I just thought that IF your CNC table was set up for it it would be clean and perfect. I do understand the potential shipping damages and the same had crossed my mind. I am going to s...

Nort,

I've not been very active on the site lately but glad to hear of others who support the LPB Maritime Museum show. I attend nearly every year but did miss this one. I'll do better next year and hope to see you then.

Joel or anyone else who would care to comment, I am planning a build that requires 0.75" x 1.0" cove and bead strips, 16' to 17' long if I do solid wood with no joints. I am interested in the idea of scarfs/puzzle joints cut by the CNC machine in 3/4" ply. I could then glue them up at...

I believe we're on the same track. I am finishing the restoration of another production boat this month but when it's done and the weather cools a bit I will be looking for something to do. This could be the ticket.

Thanks Jacques.

Jacques, I have been putting some great thought into the depth and from my best recollection I believe the Sled was about 8" deep at the rear of the cockpit to make it easy to step out. I would like it to be 18"-20" in the stern and have basically the same shear line as the flats vers...

I sold mine about 5 years ago. I spent a good bit of time tracking it down recently and found it in a barn in the middle of nowhere! I took cash, knocked on the owners door and begged to buy it back but without hesitating he said "no". It broke my heart at first but later I realized it was...

I've considered this for a long time. I am a big fan of jets as I grew up with them both large and small). There was an article several years ago in Wooden Boat where someone designed and built a scaled down Jonesport Lobster boat with a kawasaki engine. They were very pleased with its performance, ...

That's awesome! Thanks Joel. I'll give you guys a call Tuesday.

Joel/e-boat, Just wondered when you expected some 9mm Meranti again? I am in need of 1 sheet and I was wondering if you could cut it cross-sheet into 2-26" wide panels (26x48) and be able to ship it UPS? I have a pile of 1/4" but need these 9mm pieces to build some new hatches for an older...
