Once the frames were put together on the frame table with temporary cross bracing and a temporary top chord it was time to put the frames up. I had left the floor timbers long to be cut off flush with the frames later. This made it easy for me to raise and attach the frames without help. Once the frames were up they would slide down over the keel to top of the rabbit. I would clamp the to the floors in place.
Boat designed: George Buehler. Started deck beams on December 1,2004. Keel and deck beams went to the boat shed December, 2006. I have been working on this project for about 10 years and have not lost interest in it. My progress continues. I lost two years due to the storm Sandy. My progress on the boat far exceeds the posts on this site.I am going to post pictures showing progress. Bottom line is building is better than blogging.
