baribeaujm Posted May 7 Share #32 Posted May 7 Nice progress Shawn. I am also at the stage of removing the char from the frame parts. Yes it is a lot of work! I completed about 20 of those in 10 days. OK, back to sanding... Jean-Marc Rustyj and sfotinos 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfotinos Posted May 8 Author Share #33 Posted May 8 You are way ahead it sounds like, I would like to see your progress. Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfotinos Posted Monday at 02:28 PM Author Share #34 Posted Monday at 02:28 PM I have about 12 frames made, decided it was time to try and see how they looked on the keel. With that frame Aa doesn't extend all the way to the line on the plans. Actually none of them do. They do all line up with each other. Did I do something incorrect? I don't believe this is expected.

Chuck Posted Monday at 03:27 PM Share #35 Posted Monday at 03:27 PM Nope your good…looks great. The line is really before fairing and removing any char at all. There is plenty of meat on those frames so you are doing perfectly. That is exactly how it should look and be. Mine was exactly the same.

baribeaujm Posted Monday at 04:08 PM Share #36 Posted Monday at 04:08 PM Nice Shawn, I am also making frames. I did a quick check with frame Ba (Aa not done yet). My frame is also slightly inside the line (less than 1/32 on each side). I was quite aggressive with my char removal and this could have slightly reduce the width of the frames. Also, a frame not perfectly square with the respect to the keel or slightly higher on one side than the other will bring the frame limit inside the line. I am curious to see if I get closer to the limit line once I have made all the necessary adjustments. I will keep you posted.

You could use machinist squares placed on each side of the frame and set the frame equidistant from the half breath lines on the plan.
