In this step you will be cutting the pieces to separate the sides to the correct width. The target width for the boat is 31 7/8" as that will allow for a 4 x 8 sheet of plywood be equally divided into three pieces(an 1/8 of an inch is to allow for a saw blade). You will need to cut 3 1" x 10" white pine boards to this width in order to make 2 bulkheads and the transom. The picture shows a great technique for cutting square pieces with a jigsaw. Clamp a straightedge( in this case a square) and use it as a guide.
After that is complete, cut 5 1" x 3" White Pine Boards for deck beams and a butt block for the bottom.
Tools needed - Measuring tape, jigsaw, straightedge, pencil and saw horses.
