Ok so here is one of the frames as you can see it is a wee bit out of whack but only cause I made them all match the dead flat at the time.

So the first thing I did was to draw a horizontal construction line and have it pierce my Keelson at a line I defined for the Floors.

Next I moved my notch up to that point then the ends of my spline and the final result turned out great

Today I got all the floors adjusted and all the notches cut out for the gun ports. so as of now the fronts are finished I will still have to do the bevels but the majority is done. Tonight and this weekend will try to get the aft sections done.

Things left to do before I can start playing beaver:

1: Finish Aft sections
2: Bevel Frames
3: Create Bow and Stern Frames
4: Create Transom area and Wing and filler Transoms
5: Use all the above to make my individual Backbone parts
6: Start cutting wood
7: Break stations into individual parts while glue dries

Sooo I had to cut abt 5 hrs overtime today so they told me head home at lunch tonight so i cut 4 hrs plus an hour for lunch and they let me have an hour OT. I am not complaining I usually get abt 15 hrs overtime a week most the time so I sat back for a bit tonight and got 15 aft stations finished only abt 40 more to go counting the doubles as there are 46 aft stations and several of them are doubles
