[QUOTE="Shaugh, post: 398831, member: 19781"] Very nice work. The joggle sticks are a revelation to me. I had never seen them explained so clearly before. Definitely going to try that the next time I need to duplicate a large curve. I had always tried to do it with stiff fabric stapled to the junk plywood, but there was always a lack of accuracy. Bimini tops are nice but create so many obstructions. In Southern TN some shade is an absolute necessity as well. I started using these EMT fittings that they sell for flea market canopies. I actually tried the umbrella idea before I found these. https://www.tents-canopy.com/canopy-fittings.html With them you can make your own T tops and canopies that are easy to put up and take down in seconds if it gets too windy. They give you less obstructions to cast around: 3/4" on ultra light boats: [img]https://i1166.photobucket.com/albums/q602/gumphaugh/IMG_1725.jpg[/img] 1" or larger on bigger boats: [img]https://i1166.photobucket.com/albums/q602/gumphaugh/DSC01614.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
