CONTEST! What's wrong with this Picture?

Hi All;

You know, sometimes when you spend 12 hours straight on a single project, you can have a small mental lapse . . . I had a machinist friend years ago tell me that he always holds a minimum tolerance of 2 tenths of a thousandth. "I may be an inch off, but it will be an inch off within 2 tenths!"

With that brief explanation, I present a picture taken around 11 PM tonight of my kayak station assembly. Can you find the error in this picture?

I don't know exactly what the prize will be, but I was thinking of emailing Nick and asking him to donate a custom-built kayak to the first 1,000 correct answers. Mind you, I don't know him, but I DID buy his book and paddle plans! Uhhhhhh . . . How 'bout it Nick?

The station assembly pictures are now up at my site,

Select "Building forms" and jump down to "station assembly"

Best Regards to All, Spidey
