Master Plug

[Rick West]

The hull standard plug process has been updated on the Building Site. This is a report of testing of the plug hull.

Rick,
I've just read your report on the master plug. First, I'd like to thank all involved for the work in making the plug as it will ensure perpetuity of the class.
I have a question regarding the plug and the measurement effort to check conformity. Did anyone consider digitally scanning the plug to convert the coordinates into a 3D CAD solid model? Surfaces can be generated and any imperfections can be corrected in the CAD model. Once the surfacing operation is complete, a file can be generated to a CNC program to machine a plug. I recall Greg Worth doing this with his Pinter Marblehead kit. Yes, an operation like this can be very expensive but I am sure there are class members with these talents and capabilities to do this.
Just wondering,
Mike
