Lofting is the transfer of a Lines Plan to a Full-Sized Plan. This helps to assure that the boat will be accurate in its layout and pleasing in appearance. There are many methods to loft a set of plans. Generally, boat building books have a detailed description of the lofting process, beyond the scope of this article.
Sheet plywood boat building uses sheets of plywood panels usually fixed to longitudinal long wood such the chines, inwhales (sheer clamps) or intermediate stringers which are all bent around a series of frames. By attaching the ply sheets to the longwood rather than directly to the frames this avoids hard spots or an unfair hull.
A cam cleat in which one or two spring-loaded cams pinch the rope, allowing the rope to be adjusted easily, and quickly released when under load. A jam cleat in which the line is pinched in a v-shaped slot. A clam cleat (or jam cleat) in which the rope is held between two fluted stationary pieces. Such a cleat vaguely resembles two halves of a ...
[citation needed] The screws go under the frame (work-piece) to be held, and the bit clamps down on the lower-edge of the frame. [citation needed] Recent designs are more complicated; a rigid body holds one fixed and one moveable jaw activated by a cam. [citation needed] An example of newer clamps is Jim Chestnut's Clam Clamp.

A clamp is a fastening device used to hold or secure objects tightly together to prevent movement or separation through the application of inward pressure.
The one sheet boat (OSB, cf. oriented strand board) is an outgrowth of the stitch and glue technique. The OSB is a boat that can be built using a single sheet of 4 foot by 8 foot plywood (1.22 m × 2.44 m). Some additional wood is often used, for supports, chines, or as a transom, though some can be built entirely with the sheet of plywood ...
A module of cadwork 2d allows for reinforced concrete and geographic information system (GIS) plans. The file format is .2d. cadwork 3D: A timber 3D CAD/CAM design product. In cadwork 3d, one works with volumes to depict walls, generate wooden and steel rakes, and plan three-dimensional nodes space. The primary areas of application are timber ...
An inland construction tender is a type of ship used to build and service shore structures such as piers and buoy trestles. It is also used to maintain buoys and aids to navigation. [1]
