Well here we are back at it again. When I walked away last time I had just roughed out one side of the four aft frames, #'s 5, 6, 7 and 8. Well today I spent cleaning them up and getting them trimmed to their lines and then flipped them over and drew out their twins. After another go round with my old all metal and VERY heavy skill saw, that was my dads' when I was a kid, a belt sander and a jig saw along with some sandpaper for hand sanding, it was time to trim and clean these new additions to the framework of my Navigator.

The next time I get over to my son's garage I'll begin the transom and if there is time I'll start on the stem. So for now I sit and study my plans and comb through the build logs and blogs of those who have completed their boats looking for ideas and tips on how they met the challenges of building a boat with their own hands.
So, until next time,
Geoff
