The idea is the just to score the plywood to a depth that you can make the bend

I believe my total project used 5 sheets of plywood. If doing stringers keep in mind they are not the same height from bow to stern. They are higher in the middle than at the bow or stern. That was a ****ty lesson measuring the stringline at bow and stern and making the cut. Good thing is I was able to use that piece on the grid.

makes sense, I always wondered how to get the bend right.
