[QUOTE="danmyersmn, post: 109395, member: 2096"] OH, I see what your saying. The horizontal piece that is riveted to the boat. The top of that will be at too much of an angle if it is mounted to your boat wall? Well, to be honest, those pieces are at an angle on my boat as well. They are not perfectly level. I noticed the same thing when I fastened mine to the boat and I decided I am not concerned with this. The entire top decking of this shelf is going to be one piece of 3/4" wood. It does not bother me that the entire flat surface of the angle is not touching the wood. It will have enough support with the wood resting on a portion of the angle. If you wanted too I suppose you could use a angle finder and find the right angle and bang on the piece in a vice until the angle will give you a flat edge. Or, set your aluminum angle 1/4" down from your finished deck hight and rip a piece of 1x1 wood to an angle on the bottom to compensate. That's the nice thing about building these rigs how we want them. We can alter plans as needed for our vessel. [/QUOTE]
