Frames Finished

A good push over the last two days and it all came together. The pile of saw dust got deeper and deeper but the pile of frames also grew and than it was over. Before i show you the finished product i would like to show the necessary tools to get all of this done.

 After some serious sweeping, rearranging dusting and grumbling. (i need a longer tape measure, one at least as long as the boat.) and here it is, all the ribs laid out and in their approximate place. The silver yard stick marks the transom and the stick of ash on the saw horse marks the stem post.

So i guess now i need to find some really long pieces of oak to make the chine logs, stem post, and decide what i want to build the transom out of. Hopefully i can get all that figured by the end of this week. There also is the question of epoxy, i have used west systems for years, but it seams that a company called resin research has a more flexible product. Ah, decisions decisions.
