subject:Making weirdly shaped interior panels
It is midnite and I am just in from a 7,000+ mile jaunt about the country and not "up to speed", but wondered if one of the posters here would/could describe the method used (at least way-back-when) to properly get shape for interior bulkheads...I can't recall the NAME of the instrument used, but boatyards had them...basically a three or four foot long stick with a series of dips and knobs..you poke the stick into each critical area and traced the knobs...then placed the traced center on a sheet of ply or whatever..repositioned the "stick", and got a sort of connect the numbers result... I KNOW some good nautical sort out there can explain this better than THAT...I was enchanted with how well it worked....and will also feel foolish when someone remembers the name of the stick, which as I recall was "catchy"...Old salts????
