Thanks for the kudos, Gene and Mike.

Framing Jig and Framing Plan:

The Framing Jig is set at WL 5. My rationale is that it is at the free board where there is not a significant amount of bevel to contend with. You will note the extended slot for the cut water at the bow. Also marked is the termination of the keel at the stern where a block should be placed.

The Framing Plan is a simple drawing that was fun to do. It shows the hawse timbers. I still need to mark the transom timbers and side filler pieces.

If you open the PDF, the resolution will be much higher.

Hi Gary,

Your framing jig look great! You may want to consider cutting the notches for the frames a little deeper on the next one.

Hi Mike, No problem. I will do that over the weekend. I assume you are talking about the tabs in the jig?

Thanks! G

Hi Gary,

The tabs in the jig look a little short but would work OK.

Here are the semi-final draft plans for the Peacock. Still to go are the counter frames, deck plan and a redo of the bow cant frames. I have formatted to fit onto seven sheets at 1:48.
