Creating the layout board

I still have a lot of cutting and sanding left to do on the frame pieces but figured I would get the layout board setup for frame 1 now so it is good to go.

The layout board is used for putting the pieces of each frame together, you copy the outline of the pieces for each frame on to the board and then put them together over top of it to make sure they line up.

Here is a 4x8' sheet of plywood that I used for it, Made a vertical line in the center, and then a horizontal line 1 foot up (Doesnt really matter where you make this line as long as the full pieces for each frame can fit on the board)

Then I took the tracings I did previously of the frame pieces on parchment paper and extended the center line and level line on them so it is easier to line up to the board.

I did the 2 pieces one by one instead of both sheets at once, so now that they are lined up I taped it down on just the sides, slid carbon paper underneath and then traced the outline on to the board.

Then I just put the second sheet over top and lined it up, carbon paper, taped it down and traced the next outline.

Now one side of the frame is outlined on the board

Now for the other side just flip the parchment paper tracings over and do the same for the other side

And now I have a full size layout of frame 1 to work over top of

Now to start shaping the pieces to what they should be and make sure they fit in to the outline, Dont think I will get much time for anything until next week though.
