Frame Set Up

It's been a while since I last posted, but there is nothing visually changing at the moment. The first layer of the skin has been completed - glued to stringers etc. Second layer starts going on this weekend.

In the meantime here are a few pics of the next stage once I had the roof and Building Stocks set up. Spending quite a bit of time making sure the stocks were perfectly level and alligned, made the task of setting up and alligning the frames that much easier. This is something I have learnt as the project progresses - the more time you spend getting it right, the easier the next stage becomes.

The Continuing Story

While the skin is going on nothing much is changing visually, so I will continue with the story from where I left off with the post on the 2nd of January.

Once the frames, stern and stem were complete it was time to move outside and start setting it all up. The first step was to set up the building stocks and put some sort of roof over. This entailed laying concrete foundations for the legs in order to get the stocks perfectly level.
