Gluing Up
Today was devoted to finishing the frames which entailed removing them from the jig, removing all pertinent bolts and nuts, adding washers, gluing gussets to frame members, cutting off excess bolt length, peening bolt ends, sanding the frames, repositioning them on the jig, and fixating them to the keelsons with epoxy-covered threaded rod.
