I will not post much of anything till probably fall season. Just ain't got time. having too much fun and this is a hobby. Not my life's blood. HAHA! The forward portion of the ship is done, cants and howse timber. All full frames are just about there. But got a little problem with the aft cants. Have a good summer!  | ||

The laser cut parts at least for the frames had several issues. So I had to remake my own frames to replace the ones that did not match up to the frame drawings. Ill see how far I will be able to get before my knee surgery. Then I will have to stop until Im able to get around again.       | ||

Is it better to sand the hull before I install the transom??? If yes then I have to figure how to sand the inside of the hull. HAHA! All frames in, but only the cant frames fore n aft are glued in at this time.  | ||

After I am done with the fairing of the inside of the hull I will be taking measurements. My plan is to first measure the spacing of the stern framing slots on the jig. As long has I have the spacing from first port stern frame to the second frame, and the spacing matches the rest of the stern frames I should be good. If it works out like I think it should, I'll just modify the jig a bit so when I do the glue up the stern frames it will be good. All I ask from you more experience POF builders is that my deduction is correct. The issues I run into are not frustrating, I find it as challenge and a learning experience and of course fun. Getting ready to start my first ever acoustic guitar build for my musician son. Tolerances on that will be a lot tougher. Please any advice and remarks will be very helpful.
