Former M-15 owner John Harris is featured on the "Build a Boat" series which airs on the DIY channel. B-A-B comes on at 2:30 am Eastern this week, so set your VCR. I thought John gave an excellent explanation of the boat building process in keeping with the high reputation of CLC. The first program built a stitch and glue skiff and a kayak is featured on the Tue/Wed overnight program.

If you are still here John: How do you make the scarfed joints for the plywood? I expected then to be tapered, but they seem to be "stair-stepped" by plys. Do you stack cutters in a shaper to get that? steve Steve R. M-15 #119 Lexington, KY
