Materials finally arrived for the Jig. With a good day’s effort we had it pretty much completed with a little fiddling to finish the next morning. The good news was that it fits nicely in the driveway tent, although not sure how we will turn it. But that’s a problem for a few weeks!
We’ve also prepared the frames for mounting on the jig. A little bit of tidying up and marking out. We have marked centre lines on the frames and jig, and Water Lines on each frame. Taking these and the top of the frame height measurements we should be able to get them all lined up.
Hoping by the end of the weekend we have something that starts to look boat shaped. Materials for the stringers should arrive on Monday. I have also located a local supplier of Oak for the keel and mast timbers. These should be with us in just over a week. Plenty to be getting on with…..
