Build Has Started



Yesterday the planed pine was ripped into suitable widths for the framing,  


and today 
the lofted frame shapes on the lofting board were used to make up frame E, frame E is the smallest frame but has curves on it which were a bit of a challenge to transfer from the lofting board. 

I ended up taking points from each square block and transferring them to the frame piece which was positioned on the board, and using panel pins (again) and getting the curve fair (again) all this was previously done when lofting the frames.



and then cutting the curve on the bandsaw, 


next a little block planing to get rid of the bandsaw marks 


then using the first cut frame curve and checking to see that it was the same port and starboard, a duplicate was made using the first cut and planed frame, next  the deck camber was transfered to a 70mm width piece and cut out as well, all the framing fits well and the pieces are interchangeable port and starboard - so its all great.



 and...



 ...a start was made on frame D which will be completed tomorrow, and once frame D is cut completly a piece of ply will be taken out of the stack to make gussets for both frames.

if you need anything clarified or any parts of the build with more details needed, please feel free to send a message in the contact form on the right hand side panel and I will do all I can to help, Also if you would like to be kept updated please follow - also in the right hand side panel - till tomorrow...
