Positioning the Frames

[John Pratt]

In setting up the molds, I  aligned the frame centerlines and made sure the frames were plumb, but I paid little attention to the outboard portions of the frames, and I probably pushed those portions fore or aft when bending the chine, sheer strake and stringers into position.  Small miss-positions of floor timbers became apparent when I installed the sole (floor boards).
