In Response To: Skin-on-Frame: Building SHAD (Jeff Horton)

Had this one finished and before I took it to the water I realized it was not right. Gunwales did not have a sweet sheer line. Frame started to hog once it was off the strongback. No since paddling it since I was going to change it.

Had a good idea what I did wrong so I stripped off the rigging. Took a knife to the skin and put it back in the strong back only to discover my strong back and twisted. New strong back. remounted and removed and recut a few frames to make it right. Now it has the proper 'LPB' shape I wanted. Sweet sheer that will not try to deform the boat. Should start painting (again) tomorrow and launch but the end of the week. Have little different paint combo in mind for this one.
