Hi all, how many times have you had to cut a panel to fit into an irregular shape? For example to fit a decorative sheet of ply to a bulkhead. Using a sheet of cardboard smaller than the shape that is required and a Ticking Stick is the way to do it. Here is how, hope you enjoy it

Re: How to use a Ticking Stick
A useful tool indeed.
For curved surfaces, I bought this tool from ebay. You push it up against the surface and the contour stays on the protruding pins. It is useful to define awkward shapes that are in hard to get at places. The tools come in different sizes.

If you every find a copy of "This Old Boat" by Don Casey, it has this plus a million other useful bits of information. Highly recommended.
