Before we can start building, we need to do some prep work. Good prep work
will pay off later with a straight, true running boat.
First, we need a flat work surface. Nothing else will do.
If you don’t have a perfectly flat bench, you can make one with your piece of
12x48 plywood.
Simply screw a couple of 2x4’s lengthwise to the bottom. Make sure the 2x4’s
are straight!
You can then put this on a bench, and shim the corners to make it steady.
Or, if you are really pressed for space, you can set it on a couple of saw
horses.
