Don't make it any harder then you have to!! The frame looks great and always will go flush all the way around, just going to use more starboard to go all around and something to catch things on and rip off!

Simple looks good and works best!

Re: New Dive Platform
 

Starboard was ordered and will be here on friday. ;)
Decided to go Large. Using 3/4 starboard. Should be pretty Boss looking. *;D

Re: New Dive Platform
 

Question is, will the water be warm enough to use the darn thing by then? ;D

Re: New Dive Platform
 

The temps are in the 60's. Its divable, but my dive gear is still waiting to be picked up from its yearly service. :-[
Lefty will have to start her own website to pay for my toys. *;D

Starboard at 3/4" is weighing in at 23 pounds. :-/
I guess thats now my oversize trim tab. ;D

Re: New Dive Platform
 

My starboard will be here on friday, does anybody know if a jig saw will cut 3/4 starboard ?? ???

Re: New Dive Platform
 

It will but my guess is that its not gonne be a really square edge. You dont have a circular saw?

Little tip...I like to cover my starboard with masking tape while Im marking and cutting it, then peel off and no scuffs! ;)

Re: New Dive Platform
 

No square edge STINK, not sure if a jig saw cuts that deep. :-/
Need a band saw maybe. :-/

Re: New Dive Platform
 

Jig saw will cut that size.

Stink is right, don't you have a circular saw?

Wally world should have one for cheap,
or visit the B & D outlet.

Sanded down the corners, but thinking of putting some kind of bevel edge on the end. But that more money out for a router and bit. :-/
