    Now that we have our chines in place it's time to hang our frames. We're going to get them out of pieces of white oak left over from the chines and other things. Once we have our stock we can divide up the boat and find where we're going to place our frames. We then hang them with a single screw and use a hanging string to plumb them perpendicular to the waterline and then clamp them in place. Then we can drill and sink our screws through the plank and into the frames inside. With the frames in place we can then go inside and drill and screw a second fastening into them. Lastly we're going to apply a batten to the top of the frames to coordinate the boat at the shear. This makes sure we keep the proper shape before our next step, putting on the sole! Stay tuned for that next!
