Mike,
If you look on my build log, you'll note that I have finished my frames and notched the keel. Everything fit together well.
Frames 7-9 came up short at the tops, but when I measured the trim line that is on the revised Long Section Plan, their tops are all above the line. Frames 7 and 6 are very close, but I think I'll be ok.
My question is about feathering the frames' exteriors and interiors in order to accept the planking. I saw a posting (I think by you) about transferring frame edge lines from 5 to 6 where they transition and then shaping them prior to gluing them onto that keel.
I stair-stepped the keel notches in lieu of curving them upward from 5-9. The floor of the frames above the keel are stepped as well.
In the attached photo, Frames 1-5 are at one level and 6-9 are a bit elevated. In order to install the Killson and adjacent planking, this will have to be feathered (sanded) into a smooth transition, right?
Sorry if I am asking about something that you have already addressed, but I couldn't find that posting I referred to above. It may have been lost when the site was moved over to the new host.
And I will say this again, I appreciate all of the work you have done on this project for us!
Andy
