Re: laying out curves

I personnaly use CAD and just plot it out but you can create a ships
curve by just using a very thin piece of stock or edge banding and
setting some pins (nails) at specific points on the curve and bending
the stock around the pins. Just do some grid work on the original
drawing to determine the x-y location of the salient points on the
curve.

You can create a thin piece of stock by ripping a 4/4 board at the
table saw just to straighten one edge, then kick the fence over the
thickness of the blade + a shy 1/8" and rip it again, leaving a nice
thin piece of drop.
