I have an idea about how to do the scarfs for the side panels and so on. Maybe this is a new idea, or maybe it's the way it's done already, I don't know. Anyway, the idea is to cut two rectangular "blanks" slightly larger than the combined panel halves in the plans. After the two blanks are scarfed together, then the panel halves are traced onto the two connected blanks. That way, there are no worries about the scarfs not coming together exactly right as to length and alignment. Does this sound feasible, or am I just describing what is already in the manual? Up to now I have only built from kits--this will be my first from "scratch."
