I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers?<br />My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing <br />a few months of hard work due to no data backup.

One is a 1/8" higher than the other, which makes it difficult to draw lines from one board to the other.<br /><br />I don't want to buy a special tool for it, though, so will try to figure out how to make the joint with a small chisel.<br /><br />Thanks for the tip.The Unlikely Boatbuilderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00220444040859630948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814931629250831543.post-15740628495707195442011-02-07T09:36:45.560-05:002011-02-07T09:36:45.560-05:00'Biscuits'... another thing I must look up...'Biscuits'... another thing I must look up :-)<br /><br />Thanks!The Unlikely Boatbuilderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00220444040859630948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814931629250831543.post-44924993686669234142011-02-07T09:36:11.849-05:002011-02-07T09:36:11.849-05:00Why 4x7?

Since you are now a member of the Hardwater Amateur Boatbuilding and Drinking Society, you will ikely be building another boat. Therefore you will be reusing your lofting board. Speaking from experience, I cut my board into 4' x7' sheets and joind them together with a piano hinge.bljonesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814931629250831543.post-84701878271841456422011-02-05T11:56:57.466-05:002011-02-05T11:56:57.466-05:00It looks like you have your sheet connection probl...It looks like you have your sheet connection problem solved. For future reference, Pocket Screws and a Kreg jig work great to butt join two of anything. Boards or sheet goods. Easy to put in and easy and simple to take out.
