<DIV>A belt sander is the one tool I would never let near my boat. Try an
orbital sander like the DeWalt 6".</DIV>
<DIV>As a serious wood worker, I think handheld beltsanders and power
planers should be banned from the earth. I have repaired more damage for
other people caused by those two tools than nearly any other cause.</DIV>
<DIV>Just a word to the wise.</DIV>

<DIV>ps; I fit the wood parts to my boat with hand planes.<BR><FONT face=Arial

face=arial,helvetica><FONT size=2>Dear Bill. <BR><BR>The piece of teak I
have is shaped like a milled piece of lumber. It's 2" x <BR>16".
The former owner gave me the wood as he was planning to replace
the <BR>stern piece himself; he just never got around to it. He
actually had a <BR>cardboard pattern tacked to the wood, but the guy who
is refinishing all my <BR>deck wood is hestitant to have it cut by that
pattern because it has many <BR>odd markings on it, i.e. up
arrows, down arrows, etc. We don't want to cut <BR>the wood and
find that it doesn't fit. <BR><BR>Some of the other information I
have received from other owners includes: <BR><BR>Dwalker@cemcocpa.com
(Dan Walker) : the stern piece is actually three <BR>layers, one
on top of the other mitered and fit together. I saw a
"younger" <BR>boat and its stern piece had spacers between the deck and
the top piece which <BR>was cheaper and allowed for water drainage off
the stern. This would be <BR>cheaper but not as nice to look at.
<BR><BR>I have no idea that this will be helpful information, but it's
all I have. <BR>Any thoughts you might have on replacement would
be appreciated. I wish I <BR>had the old teak the former owner
took off the boat so I would not be at such <BR>a disadvantage in
replacing it. <BR><BR>Sincerely,
Lorelei</FONT><FONT size=2
