<p>Sorry, you cut pieces of lath to the approximate lengths of the edges of your cradle, then glue them at the corner points, flat face to flat face, with hot melt glue and a spring clamp. You have to maintain the angle for a minute while the glue cools and sets. Having them right up against the actual angle of the hull/keel will ensure a perfect fit. You can use this for a lot of other things, make a triangle to match an angle, an irregular rectangle to match the shape of a berth or hatch,…</p>

It is actually quicker than measuring and transferring angles to the plywood. </p> This sounds interesting and I…tag:wharrambuilders.ning.com,2013-10-18:2195841:Comment:1081652013-10-18T14:18:20.892ZIan Bamseyhttp://wharrambuilders.ning.com/profile/IanBamsey
<p>This sounds interesting and I think I can guess what you might mean. Could you elaborate a bit on this?</p>

<p>Thanks so much</p>

<p>Ahoy Ian,</p>
<p> A trick for mocking up things like this is to use common lath and a glue gun. You have to wait a bit for the glue to cool and set. Works great to mock up interior furniture panels. Triangulate for best stability.</p>

<p>My first choice would be a sliding bevel gauge, second would be a pair of 1x2s and a c-clamp, to approximate the angle at the selected point. Transfer the angle to the plywood and refine it from there. Support points under existing bulkheads seem to work best.…<a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1930097940?profile=original" target="_self"><img class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1930097940?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="721"></img></a></p>
