Absolutely! This process makes frame construction almost flawless. Note, I said almost.But they look so good, you should be happy.I would bet seeing this great array of photos and how well these frames are "shaping up" is giving a lot of members a goal to shoot for.

You're doing a fantastic job Serikoff!
Yes, the kit is really very good. You can achieve good results. Yes, I want to build two hulls, but not identical ones. I want to build one as a skeleton (from the kit), and then scan it and carve it from one piece of wood, so that later I can sheathe it with slats and make the deck stuffing and install the mast and sails. So in fact, I kind of make two hulls, but in turn, continuing to build the second one after the first from the same place. I hope I explained it clearly, otherwise I hope the translator will translate everything correctly))
Thank you for your words)) There is always something to strive for and always room to grow)))Absolutely! This process makes frame construction almost flawless. Note, I said almost.
Yes, I can imagine. But still, it takes much longer to do everything manually, without a set or without CNC cutting. When you cut out each part on a saw, process it, grind it... I take my hat off to those who do everything manually, but for me it takes too long. CNC is simply the only way out. And the better and more accurately the cutting is done, the easier and faster the process goes, but I really like it))
Good morning Sergey. Spot on1.6. Grinding
Hooray!... I finished gluing the one-piece frames together. There are 41 of them and a total of 65 frames that had to be glued together. And this stage is over. I finished it 2 days earlier than expected. Now it remains to grind them.
Frames that were halves I already showed how I polished out. Everything is simple there. In a stacked template, everything is first ground on one side. Turn, push and grind on the other side.

It is impossible to do this with solid frames, since they can only be side by side with halves at the same time. Therefore, the grinding method is as follows: on a sheet of sandpaper 240, we grind along the fibers, as indicated in the photo. Yes, this is long (although not very), it is not very convenient (but this is very)), but all surfaces are flat and there is no risk of damaging the frame.

And this is the result...

Left - before and right - after grinding. I think I will cope with 35 remaining ones in a day and then a more interesting procedure - contouring...
And a cool process. Thanks for sharing this. Cheers Grant
Wow, you have a fast pace. Yes, you are right, there is a charm in doing everything yourself or at least with CNC. But unfortunately I have neither the time nor the place to do it. I jokingly call my hobby "shipyard on a small knee" )))) because most of it happens)))
Thank you for appreciating and for your comment. Glad to hear that I am doing something useful)))Good morning Sergey. Spot on
