How to make accurate patterns/
templates of deck for cutting Teak Deck Panels (or other complex
pieces)?
If something in boat looks square or symmetrical, it most likely
is not true but it just looks OK compared to whatever is around.
Because nothing is square or easy to measure, making patterns saves
a lot of headache and time. Easiest way to make decking panels to
fit nicely is to pattern deck and use patterns to draw cutting lines
to teak panels. You can make patterns from thin ( 1/8") plywood
strips ( it's also called door skin plywood). Cut door skin to 1
7/8" wide strips on table saw or buy strips from local boat
carpenter. Using strong scissors cut strips to correct length and
glue strips together with hot melt glue.
