Mounting the frames on jig

It’s a nice feeling to have finished the work on the frames. Now the boat building is finally making visible progress. Centerline and waterline are marked on all frames. This way I can mount the frames exactly on the jig with the laser level. It is impossible to do this work alone. Luckily I got helping hands from my kids.

I double checked the measure / spacing of the frames and compare the dimensions with the plan. Don’t make any mistake at this step. I also add some reinforcements to the jig.

See the green marking lines of the laser level.

It takes effort to drill holes / screws in the frames for attaching them to the jig. If possible i fixed the frames to the jig with perforated metal tape.
