Spiling (boat building) Spiling is the process of using a smaller component against which the outline of a larger component can be drawn. This is often used for creating planks on traditionally built boats that have complex shapes..[1]
When used for making a new plank for a boat a piece of timber the same length as the desired plank but both thinner and narrower is cut. This is called the spiling batten. This is then temporarily attached to the boat in the place of the plank required. The shape of the plank required can then be traced onto the spiling batten using a compass, or a dummy stick. The spiling batten can then be lifted out and placed on the new stock, and moved around to find the optimum use of the stock material, the using the same compass or dummy stick, the exact shape required can be traced off the spiling batten onto the new stock, ready to be cut out[2]
Of course the same technique can be used for many other applications than creating planks for boats. Given the complex 3D shapes of boats the planks have notoriously complex shapes themselves and therefore tracing is preferable to measuring and marking out from simple measurements.
