Got back to it a little today after a few days out of town.

Measured and marked Frame B, the bow deck parts and the transom braces. All ready to cut.

Capt. Sam watches closely and lets me know when I make a mistake :!:

Looks like Capt Sam has a bit of a scowl just then? Was that just as you cracked another beer, but still had three more cuts to make that day? 8O :P

Nah, he was scowling because I measured Frame B wrong and is pointing out my error.

Man you move fast and smooth. No way I can keep up with you and the Captain. Fine pictures, C Larry, they make a fellow feel good.
