Got it done. went out this morning and the 2 tread boards dried out way too much from the heat light. I had to put them in a press and take a 1/4" cup out of the dang things LOL. Pre drilled all the holes and used 2" SS #10 screws with finish washers, to glue and screw it together... Normally I would drill the holes then drill a 5/16" bigger hole so when I put in the screws I could cut some plugs and gluer them in , cut them flush, sand and finish. WAAAAAAAAY to much work. Now I just need to figure out how I am going to fasten it to the boat. Not permanent but a way of putting it up and taking it down when not in use,..

OK I took care of the boredom.......... I had to make a boarding ladder for the big boat. I made a cardboard pattern a month ago and got the pieces dadoed and cut, first coat of varnish on. They will be glued and screwed. Should be pretty strong..... White oak boards I had sitting around......
