None that I know of its just trial and error!

Cardboard templates

[Lackofdistinction]

I found that by taking a reference point and measuring 6" incremants my cuts would be far more accurate. I built my boats with one huge center seat that went from the mid frame to the bow.

"Cut once Measure Twice"

For the midseat I started out with a soon to be 1/4 ply template. I traced a curve from the scrap ply left from cutting out the boat bottom on one end of it. I cut out a notch (a little too deep on purpose) and sanded it here and there till it fit. I then took an athwartship measurement where both the front and rear of the seat should end up. Then marked those measurements on the board for the seat and traced around the template on one end of the board.....turned the template over and did the other end. It got pretty close after sanding a bevel to match the flare of the sides.

......but.....if I was trying to glue it in with resorcinol I'd still be sanding

This is how it looked before turning it over to the 3rd graders to be painted.

When they're through with it ....its to be donated to a charity auction to be held this Saturday
