| Before the half frames at the stern and
the cant frames at the bow can be built into the hull, the keelson
and deadwoods have to be set into place. The keelson goes in
before the deadwood because it is sandwiched between the deadwood
timbers. When all the whole frames are set in the keel notches
they will not be exactly even, some will be a slightly higher
at the floors. When the floors were set up for laser cutting,
the inside and outside edges were offset .030 to allow for fitting
and finish sanding. This offset will keep the ends of the keelson
from resting against the deadwood when it is set on the frame
floors. First the inside of the hull was sanded down to even
out the floors; the keelson notches were deepened. |
