Starting the building form

I now have frame 1 and 2 put together so I am starting to put together the building form. From what I can tell on the plans it looks like you normally make the breasthook, stem and transom before that but I dont have the plywood for those yet. Since I have the time now I wanted to get as much as I can done.

I used mostly 2x6 boards with the bottom members being 2 2x4s instead just because I had them already and wanted to use them.



Not really too much to explain here, just putting it together as in the plans. I had shorter lumber so had to use a bunch of butt joints. Getting everything level with each other took majority of the time.






The frames are not layed out or placed where they should be, I just had them sitting there for the picture. So far the one major thing I have learnt from all of this is just how bad I am at wood working. Definitly learning a lot as I go.
