wooden boat magazine scarf jig
Scarf jig the woodenboat forum is sponsored by woodenboat publications , publisher of woodenboat magazine. the forum is a free service, and much like the "free" content on public radio, we hope you will support woodenboat by subscribing to this fabulous magazine.. There is a jig for a router, a circle saw, and one jig i have heard about, but not seen, that involves turning a 4 x 8 sheet of plywood on edge and cutting the scarf on a table saw. many of these shop-made jigs are detailed in various issues of woodenboat magazine and can be found there by those interested.. Several dowel holes under the free end of the ramp raises or lowers the ramp to set the scarf joint angle. (i make them all the same) clamps hold the material in the jig and the jig to the bench. moving the plane across the top two parrellel surfaces cuts the scarf angle in the piece(s). you can often cut two narrow pieces at the same time.. 
wooden boat magazine scarf jig We cover building a plywood scarf jig and cutting a plywood scarf joint using a router. these plywood boat plans and more are available for purchase, and come with full size patterns. how to build a plywood scarf jig. we use a one inch piece of plywood, two 2x4s and a half inch piece of plywood on the sides to create the angle.. It works quite well. however, it takes a bit to set up and you pretty much have to dedicate a circular saw to the jig. building a 35 foot trimaran, it was very handy. i think it’s total overkill on boats the size clc has. you can do a beautiful scarf in a very short time using just a block plane. i have a set of photos showing one i did in 12.
