To make thetwo sides alike, and ofthe correct shape, cuttemplates, or patterns,of cardboard of theshape of the hull atdifferent sections, and test the work by them. Before hollowing the inside,gauge a line around the top, Y2 from the edge, except at the bow andstern, where a greater distance should be allowed (Fig. 678). The hullshould be held firmly by clamps or in some way, so that both hands can beused in cutting. Bore one or more holes (according to the size of the boat)downward from the top (Fig. 678), but leave at least Yi of wood belowthem. Run a groove with a small gouge inside of the line marked (Fig. 678),and hollow out the hull with a larger gouge, cutting toward the holes will help. Finally cut straight down from the line marked on the top, until thethickness of the sides is about 34 (Fig. 679). The gunwale should be. Fig. 678 Appendix 249 thicker than the rest, to stiffen the sides and give a bearing for nailing thedeck. Below this point, make the thickness of the sides as uniform as youcan, except that a thicker place can be left at the bottom where the keel isto be fastened (Fig. 679). One fourth of an inch is thin enough for anybut a skilled workman to make the sides. Make templates for the good deal can be told by the sense of feeling, gaug-ing the thickness between the thumb and finger. Use aflatter gouge for smoothing the inside. If the sheer ofthe deck has not yet been cut, mark it now, using athin strip or flexible ruler (see page 21), and trim to
