    Cutting stringers and supports

    So from what I am seeing, the general consensus around here is to get all the stringers and wodd parts lasr cut. I have been calling around all day today to try and find a local laser cutter, but have been coming up empty. All of the laser cutters I have called do only metal and glass etching. All the woodshops I have called typically have a minimum which a single boat is under. Is there like a go-to shop that people on here use that maybe specializes in our hobby? The other alternative I have been looking at was maybe buying that Craftsman CNC engraver, which seems to be a cheaper alternative to buying a laser, but seems like it may not be big enough for some projects.
    Any advice??

          I print them out and then use a spray adhesive to attach them to the wood
