Chalk,

Nice components- smooth cuts, looks great! For a second there, I thought you bought Eric's kit.

It's by far from smooth and even...I have learned one thing, nothings gonna be perfect or level, just close

Tips for the day: Remember to cut the notches larger than 3/8" and it is 1 foot to the top of the floor plus 1/2" plus the notch

Quick Update: It's a Hull /

Very nice job! I wish mine fit that good when I stitched it together. But then I have learned that epoxy forgives most sins.

I have had alot of compliments on the "sawn" joints. If I had to pass a tip along it would be this:

Cut only one panel (There is hazards with this, if you mess up and don't catch it, it can cost you. But the odds of getting two matching pieces is greatly improved)
I cut the first panel with a circular saw and dressed the edges with a belt sander. Lay the finished piece on top of a sheet of plywood.
I fastened the panel with screws, 2 or 3 is plenty. I took a pencil and drew a rough line 1/4"+/- off the panel onto the sheet (easier to see than the panel edge). I took a jigsaw and roughed out the new panel. Using a plunge (adjustable) router with a flush trim bit and an upper bearing guide, I routed the new panel using the first panel as a guide. This will give you two identical pieces. Please take head that you can mess up big time, but if you succeed you will save time big time and be careful with the router.

Happy building
