Boat Seats Patterns
I need to know how to add a wood floor of a Boat that has permenatly assembled benches.?
My boat has three bench seats, plus a minor in bow and I'm having a very hard time trying to get ply wood cut just right to fit perfectly within the arch. the problem is the slope the sides, as this is the point of the arc it a v hull. any recommendations would be good and I can not use the old floor of a standard as there is no floor old. any good suggestions would be very helpful thank you.
Try it! Make a card model of the bow section, and then measure the height of the wood you'll use, then measure the distance from the widest part of the play, this time adding a slight bevel angle to compensate for any that may occur in height on the sides. (For example, the straight cut at the back is 12 inches, but you're using 3 / 4 "plywood, and that even as the height of sides is 13. "You know you have to set your saw blade to make a 1 / 2" angle of the sides.) You can configure your hard Saw where the angle, and when you cut the piece should fit closely. If not, use a file to clean up the edges until it pops perfectly. Remember that since you are in the botom of a boat, it can be wet at times, and leaving about a 1 / 16 "- 1/8th inch all the expansion and contraction.
