I love those kinds of saw, used a katana big boy to cleat a big cedar that was across a portage right at chest height. Two cuts and it was out of the way. Much faster/safer than an axe. Jim

I also have one of these to help guide the drill if you want to use it. They are made to guide the hand drill and clamp to the wood. Jim

If you need mine just let me know. Jim

A hardware store should have dowel locator insets, they set in the existing hole with a little point to mark the new piece. If you can’t find them I have a set you can borrow. Jim They look like this.

I love seeing a new boat take shape. Jim

I had that same thought Pat but you beat me with your pics. Jim

My wife just said she wants to paint that image. Jim
