Aft skylight assembly completed.

Progress: deck beams and assemblies for partners/hatches/etc. I created a sanding block with the deck camber curve to shape the 1/4"x2" stock that was glued edge to edge. I then cut 1/8" beam widths. Worked beautifully.

Some keel line views of frames dry fitted in jig.

Built a framing jig from some scrap wood. I'm close to gluing in the frames but I still need to cut some of the timberheads first.

Long time since last post. frames finally ready/symmetrical. Bearding line chiseled in. As seen on @gsdpic's build log, the laser etched lines are way off. Not only is spacing for frames too wide, the rabbet line was set way too low. See picture, I had to sand down between frames N and M to make the garboard plank fit correctly to the bearding line. See the difference between frames M&L. Roughly a 1/16th to 1/8th inch difference. I will have to sand down all the remaining notches to match.

Half the frames are rough sanded. Individual frames will need a lot of shaping. They are very unsymmetrical.

Tracing the bearding and rabbet lines to blank side of keel completed. Working on making frames symmetrical.
