Building the frames

As they were completed they were stacked up in front of the sink.

Here are the frames showing the 36 inch bases and their shapes.

Then the frame was cut on the lines to give me a frame cut to shape

Templates in masonite were made of the half shape of the hull at each frame position. They were aligned to the bottom of the frame and the center line and then the shape marked on the frame on both sides.

A center line was struck down the middle of the frame ensuring that it was perpendicular to the bottom edge of the frame. The board across the bottom of the frame was cut to be 36 inches long.

Simple 1/2 by 4 pine boards were shaped and glued up to form the outline of the frames
