Not had a chance to replenish my plywood stock so I decided to start glueing the frames I have cut out onto the keel.
Started at the rear of the forecastle deck frame and am using this as the datum, so squared it all up and with 2 uprights and a couple of 2mm lengths of round bar under the framethis was glued in true and square. Left it overnight to go off then proceeded to fit the stern frame, just to give me a line of sight so to speak down the length of the hull. This was done with 2 squares and a straight edge across the frame, clamped at the correct height, squared to the keel and glued, left overnight to set. Filling in the rest of the frames was then stright forward, using the 2mm bar to set the frame height off the build board, square from the keel and a straight edge between the earlier fitted frames. Lastly the two side ribs were just glued and slotted into place, elastic bands helping the whole thing to sit hard up against it register on each frame. Now to let it all set, remove the bands and start to think about the next stage.
Thanks for watching
