Making the Frames

Now that we have corrected the patterns (see previous post), we’re ready to use them to cut out our frames for the boat.  It’s a straightforward and repetitive process.  

1.  Trace the pattern outline onto the stock.

2.  Do a rough cut out on the bandsaw.

3.  Hot glue the pattern to the rough cut stock.

4.  Using a pattern bit in the router table, cut an exact duplicate of the pattern shape in the frame stock.

Easy as pie!
