For a change of pace I started with the bow and stern half frames saving the easy full frames for last. I just hope I can get all the full frames jammed in middle. LOL These are a few photos showing how I built and installed the half frames.              | ||

So would it of been better to leave that portion out, instead of going thru all that work on the rising wood since you not going to see it anyway? Just wondering.... | ||

The notches also aide in alignment of the frames to the keel while gluing the frames. Mike | ||
