I don’t think this post can possibly get as many hits as Lobster Pregame, so I will make this one short and sweet.
After we devoured our lobster rolls, we headed out to the burbs to start cutting our plywood. We began with the sides of the boat (the simplest cuts). Our boat will be over 9.5 feet long, and since plywood typically comes in sheets no longer than 8 feet, we had to cut additional pieces to elongate the boards (think: Ke$ha’s hair extensions…similar principle). (I will explain how we join these extensions together in my next post.) In total, we cut four pieces for the sides of our boat.

Our last easy cut was the transom (the trapezoid on the back of the boat).

I will write separate posts for trickier cuts, but this is just a starting point.
