Most of the old hands have a chair in their workshop to sit and help overcome these sorts of issues.
I know it takes up room but its an useful tool.

: Feeling pretty silly tonight, but there is a huge level of
: satisfaction knowing I finally figured it all out.
: Thank you to everyone for the advice!

: Ok, so here's what the problems were:

: 1. Cross Section two was off by about a quarter of an inch on each
: side. Not significant, but enough to make me do it over again.
: After all a quarter of an inch added up is a half an inch.. yep,
: gotta do it over.

: 2. Cross Section one... I had a feeling it wasnt right... after
: checking my offsets 3 times to make absolute sure I had them
: right, I pulled the cross section down off the station and found
: that the chine inset or chine notch was measured in below the
: offset point, instead of above the offset point, placing it off
: by atleast 3/4 of an inch!
: YEEEESSSSSSS!!!! That was the overall problem ... or atleast the
: two sections combined were enough to throw the whole thing way
: off.

: *enter big sigh here*

: I can sleep tonight~!!~!!!!!~!!!~!!!

: Once again, I am thanking you all for your time and contribution to
: my solutions.
: I am so excited to move forward with this project tomorrow.
: Hoping to be skinning this kayak within the week!

: Big Smiles, ~Heather

: PS, Just curious, am I the only one that finds themselves sitting
: and staring at the frame for hours, admiring the beauty of it
: all?
: Dang, this is addicting~! Gotta love it!
