: Hi all,

: I think I have figured out how to align the deck and haul in a very simple
: way. No drilling, dowelling and worring about being perpendictular in
: alignment. In the blurry picture you see two pieces of 1/4 x 3/4 inch
: strips representing the shear line seperating the haul and the deck. On
: the inside or outside of the deck/haul, I glued two scrap pieces of strips
: with a appro. 45 Degree bevell fastened so they are close to but not above
: each other. When the two halves of the boat are put together the bevels
: guide the two halves into alignment. In my case, I believe I can glass the
: inside first, then hot glue as many blocks as I want to the inside glass
: haul and deck to align them,and then yellow glue the haul to the deck.
: Then when I am done with the outside I will craw inside and knock off the
: blocks with a hammer, clean off the hot glue and strip glass the inside
: seam. Tell me what you think is wrong with this.

It's so simple it's almost beautiful I plan to use it when i get that far.
