Re: contined squaring questions......for peter or whoever
Jason, be careful. By the time you finish this project you are going to
have adopted the complete writing style of Peter Lenihan. Surely you
want to have your own style?

Nevertheless,we are talking about a small boat here and as such,25%
ain't all that much.Do be aware,however,that just how fancy you want
to build and/or how many errors you make will have a dramatic effect
on your time,especially if you already have a scheduled launching
date:-).You have to juggle around some ideas now as to what you
expect in the future for your boat,that is;everything between a quick-
n-dirty thing that will float right up to family heirloom...........
Once you have nailed what you expect,stick to it and don't
complain.The end will be rewarding!
Hope you have the bulkheads all squared away now since enough sound
advice for you to get it right has been offered.Things will get
easier once the hull is locked in and solid,trust me:-)
Thanks for the pictures,keep em coming!

Did anyone yet mention this trick?
To figure out the problem
when squaring up: Squares and
rectangles always measure the same
from corner to corner, and crooked
rectangles do not. That is,
upper left to lower right should equal
lower left to upper right.

I may be slow but i have got it figured out......Still not sure
about the frames and bulkhead lines and the fact that the boat may
be 1/8" narrower than designed yet with the same profile, not
sweating the beam though....maybe she'll be faster than the
others :)
I just went and measured everything and it's all within a sixteenth
of an inch. Problem is my "temp" forms "B" and "C" rest on the
concrete slab to act as a psuedo strongback. I ran crossways plumb
lines with a little hook level on it and sure enough best i can tell
the concrete slab has settled 3 degrees to starboard but yet i built
the hull level, err leveler than the floor any way......gee sure am
glad i have to take it all apart.... again.
I guess i just needed to roll a cigarette and have beer or two to
get things into perspective. If it was'nt for my aversion to alcohol
and power tools maybe i'd get it all right the first time.
Jason who will be on the water before the leaves turn!.......is it
really true hull building is only 15% of the time to build
and "properly" finish a micro?.......folks don't take the incessant
questioning the wrong way, i'm having a ball not writing my thesis
like i should be!

About the frame positioning.
That centeresque temp frame is dead in the middle of the line i
measured when lofting. If that thing is supposed to have it's
forward edge kissing the line that could be my problem, cause it's
not. I could just test this theory, but i 'd rather here from you
than putting more holes in my hull......even though it will be
plugged i wince everytime i poke hole in the panels below water.
Thanks,
Jason
