Which Tool for Relieving Bulkhead ?

: Imagine a freshly cut-out plywood bulhead lying horizontaly on a table : before you.

I'd like to : relieve, or remove, about 1/8" of the plywood (face) material all : along the edge of the bulkhead (where it will bond to the hull) for : (say) 3" from the edge on both sides of the bulkhead. In this way, : the 'glass angles will lie flush with the bulhead surface. : How do I do this? That is, wat tool(s) would be used for removing the : plywood, leaving a clean cut of consistent depth? : Appreciate any tips. : Mike Worrall : Los Angeles How about a router table with the fence drawn back so that a straight router bit protrudes 1/8" of an inch out from the fence, and, of course, more than 3/4" high? Perhaps, instead of the fence you might use 2 vertical dowels for the curve to run against. I don't use plywood in my boat building but it's just a wild thought. haven't tried anything like that. --- Gregg Replicas of 15th-19th century nautical navigational instruments: http://home.comcast.net/~saville/backstaffhome.html Restoration of my 82 year old Herreshoff S-Boat sailboat: http://home.comcast.net/~saville/SBOATrestore.htm Steambending FAQ with photos: http://home.comcast.net/~saville/Steambend.htm "Improvise, adapt, overcome."

Well I just wanted to be honest that I was making a suggestion that I never tried. ;^) --- Gregg "Improvise, adapt, overcome." Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics Phone: (617) 496-1558 |
