multi piece furling boards?
I didn't want to highjack ducksterman's thread about features, so I'll ask this here. What do you use on multpiece boards to put them together? Right now I'm using an 8ft board, but I need to make it at least 2 pieces and probably 3 pieces for storage purposes. But I'm not sure the best way to do it.
thanks in advance,

My basic jig consists of two lengths ...

... of 1/4" oak, one piece 4' x 4" and one piece 4' x 3". They are overlapped and pinned with dowels, and then clamped to a workbench with those handy spring clamps ( not shown ) from Home Depot.
Note the sixth picture in the opening post of the following linked thread.

I can extend the basic jig to 14' by clamping the two basic pieces to the top of the 4' x 8' workbench at the appropriate places. This allows furling up to about 12' 6". Just right for a one piece furled line / leader for a Tenkara rod.
I can reduce the basic jig length by overlapping the boards, pinning and clamping them as necessary for shorter leaders.
