Looks really great! Lashing always seems to take longer, but once tightened you don't have to wait for anything to cure... Can't wait to see it skinned!

: A little progress report. I took the frame off the strong back and carried it
: outside for a few photos. As with everything I do I learned a good bit.

: I lashed 95% of this frame together. Very little glue. I had to glue the
: stern before I put it on the boat. And I glued the ends of the stringer in
: place. I think that was all. It seemed to take much longer but when I
: checked the log on my previous boat I see at this stage I am actually 3
: hours ahead.

: I spent a lot of time scratching my head on how to build the stern and then a
: lot of time adjusting and trimming getting it straight with the keel. Next
: one I will do different. This was not the best way and I see it now. Also
: I will remember to cut out the lightening hole before I glue it up too.

: Here are some photos.
