ok, thanx. My concerns on paper are simply trying to calculate the compound curves that are in the ribs of the front/bow of a boat. It's quite mind boggling as each rib gets smaller and potentially requires completely different compound angles and curves. But I follow what you are saying in that perhaps I'm better off just winging it by building out a frame with the cheapest possible materials such as MDF and cardboard...perfecting that I'd then have templets to transfer into the actual wood. It's probably what it comes down to, but I was sure hoping for a simple software program that would calculate everything out so that I could just end up with a pattern that could be enlarged at a photoshop and then traced to the wood for cutting. I guess I have to wait still for someone that can develop some mind reading software for me ;)
