bottom and top of frame 6 scarf dry fitted
edge view of of frame 6 scarf dry fitted
- the scarf joints were dry fitted and the alignment carefully confirmed for each frame
- 1/4" pilot holes were then drilled through the overlapping portion to make future alignment easy and accurate
- just insert 1/4" drill bits or dowels to align, then clamp and let the epoxy cure
- only the bottom sections of the mainhull frames will be set up on the strongback, so that hull construction can fit within the 6' - 6" headroom of the shop
- the top portions of the frames will be scarfed on after the hull is completed up to the gunnel, rolled upright, and moved out of the shop
