I have all the frames glued up now and will be concentrating on the treenail for all the frames. Here is some pictures of my progress.
Could not help but putting them on the keel just to see

Looking super. Not long ago those frames were planks of wood. My how you have changed them. Good Luck on your next step.

Gentlemen thanks for looking in and the nice comments. Little bit of work done. All the treenails in the frames are done. Getting ready to raise the frames.
Started by sanding all the side with my detail sander using 320 grit

I then check to make sure my backing board to the base was square, then clamped it in place to prevent movement.

I then test fitted the frame to the keel making a little adjustment with a sanding stick (finger nail file) and glued and clamped in place

Then I check the squareness again

Question to all...Would you wait and treenail the frames to the keel after all the frames are raised or do each on as I went?????
Your opinion is appreciated
Thanksw

Good Question. My thoughts go with treenail as you go. I don't like the idea of having to do a long reach inside to do a few of the middle frames.
Looking Good.

Been very busy with work related trips and yard work...so thought I would take some time and post my progress. Sanding is just about done...inside it where I am happy with it and the outside just need a little more.
Will start to cut some of the inside planking while finishing up the sanding on the outside. Here a few pics of my progress
