How to Scarf Plywood and Cut Boat Panels Without a CNC Machine
Nick shows how to hand-cut stitch and glue plywood boat panels from scratch, an alternative to buying a pre-cut CNC kit. He covers scarfing shorter plywood pieces together using an 8:1 planed joint and thickened epoxy, then transfers full-size paper patterns onto the plywood using a pounce wheel and spray adhesive. After drilling stitch holes, he cuts the panels with a fine-toothed jigsaw blade and cleans the edges with a well-sharpened block plane.
