Interesting. As a engineer I would take the overcomplicated route. Taking a laser measurement tool to map out the complete insides of the boat. Then transferring the measurements to Autodesk. Draw all the bulk heads and interior design in the drawing program. Then print out the templates and transfer them to the ply wood. I think your method is more elegant. I'm sure the boat turns out great :)
That Joggle stick is cool. Pete's an amazing multifaceted guy, what a wealth of knowledge, skill and talent! You're lucky to have him Accidental Sailor Girl!
And if you chicken sh*t you do it on a piece of cheap ply to double check it first! But if your Pete you go right ahead with the $150 x 3/4 marine ply! Cheers Warren. For a great fun skoolie conversion and adventurers follow Scott and Kayleejay on 'rollwithit' they are a lot of fun and the bus design is good.

You know, a schoolbus does afford a bit more space than a V-dub... with a wee bit more push-o-lene of course. Cute kitties. The wheels on the bus go meow meow meow...
selrod55 regular carpentry and boat building are two completely different things ( many of the tools being the same). I started building boats at age thirteen (54 years ago). Boat building is my first love, but residential construction pays the bills
very interesting pete - i dont understand people getting bent out of shape over a school buss but drive a 200000 dollar rv in there and its but kissin time lol
Also known as a 'Ticking stick'. The more times you draw the outline - the more accurate your final piece...
That Joggle stick is a damn good idea, I always use a grid when making a shape like that, looks like it really works well.
Great music at the end... never seen old Pete crack a smile like that before...

Jogglestick or no, that is one fantastic first shot at fitting a bulkhead.
That stick is also known as a "ticking stick" or a "tick stick" in carpentry.
What type of wood is your bulkhead ? U mentioned a varnish. Did u add a veneer ?

I like the intro music, is it new? Another interesting video on sailboat renovation.
Neat, a ticking stick. I had to watch because I hadn't heard the term jogglestick.
Where did Pete learn how to do all this boat building? It's gotta be way beyond nowmal carpentry.
