OK, so we've been back at work for some time, just not posting. So here we go: This time we'll be using the laser to layout the keel land. OK - sorry. This is an older, vertical photo. If you've been following along, the forum somehow doesn't like vertical photos. So, this photo is 90 degrees out.
The laser is a new one. One of the green lasers that are brighter than the red ones, so more visible in high light environments like the RiversWest shop. Sturdy tripod is a must. Used to use this for a 2 1/4" film camera. Old! Sturdy!
The laser is set up exactly on the centerline of the boat.
The jig in the foreground is exactly the width of the keel land. It's angled to match the bottom of the boat and has a centerline on it. Just line it up on the centerline with the laser line overlapping exactly and mark the two sides of the keel land. I did this every three or four feet and joined those marks with a long straightedge. Keel land is laid out!
