I'm new to this, I have the wood and plans to build a tunnel hull. What is the best way to cut this very thin wood? I thought my scroll saw would work well but it really makes a mess of it. Thanks.

I haven't done personally but I would think that a really fine blade would be about the best thing to get you going.... aside from that I know that my Dremel has a mini circular saw attachment for it.. says that it is for less than 1/8" thick wood...

Or maybe a really sharp utility knife? Keep scoring the wood till it snaps apart?

Just trying to help out with some ideas....

Where did you get the plans for the boat? I wouldn't mind giving that a try some day...

what you need is a hand held coping saw.....Looks like a smaller version of a hack saw with a handle.....very fine blade with fine control.

I have not done it before but if you wish to cut it well than please follow below tips for it :

1. Avoid Cross Cutting
2. Use the Right Blade
3. Circular Saw
4. Table Saw
5. Score the Cut First
6. Masking Tape
7. Backing Panel
8. Use a Router
9. Score with a Utility Knife
10. Buy a Panel Scoring Setup
