Frames one and two attached - had to open up several notches more because the frames were fitting too tightly on the spine (or sometimes hardly at all). Come to find out, the plans are wrong again and it wasn't our mistake. We had followed the design exactly, measuring out our notches to be 10mm across, but when we tried to slide them onto the spine, they didn't even begin to fit. Well, no wonder, because the wood we were trying to slide it onto is 12mm plywood. So we spent an afternoon widening notches, sanding, and finally epoxying and screwing the frames onto the spine.
Third frame on.
Frame four and transom on. Looking like a boat!
