My mahogany dagger board was damaged when I bought the boat used. I glued
it with epoxy and put some fiberglass around it and it has held up for a few years, but I don't think it will last. I bought some 8/4 white oak on ebay for almost nothing (100bf for $1.25), and figured I will build a new daggerboard while I had something intact to copy. The blank is 44" long, 2" thick, and 15" wide. It weights 35 pounds. I originally intended to cut the corners off on my table saw, but it is so heavy that it doesn't seem particularly safe. So, I have been going at it with my 3" belt sander and my 2" power planer. Both would work, but they would take hours and hours of work. Any suggestions for a good way to shape my blank into an airfoil shape? I am thinking of buying a better planer, but hope someone here will be resourceful. |
