[alberg30] Toe rail replacement

Hi Paul,
You put into words what I was too lazy to!  It's a complicated piece of wood, 
that toe rail on the older boats.
Let's hear from someone who has done the job, replaced the rail, pref. by 
themselves, or at least give us an idea of what it costs to have done 
professionaly.
I have a good hand tool collection, but I suspect big, accurate table saws 
and electric planers would make the job replacing the toe rail components a 
lot easier. The scarfs would be difficult enough, but the pieces are wider at 
the base than at the top-getting that right for the length of the pieces is 
what I see as the most difficult part of the job, and would like to hear a 
technique to accomplish.
Of course, right now my biggest concern is Floyd, as he leaves me here in SC, 
and heads up the coast to Stargazer where she sits  in NY. I don't want her 
launching herself without me!!!
Thx,
Lee
