Progress on Frames (Frame-1 completed)

 I've been delayed a little with work and minor health issues.  A bad back had me spending most of the weekend in bed.

I did manage to get the #1 frame completed.  It was one of three frames that were cut in 2 pieces and had to be scarfed back together.  This is not the plywood scarfing that boat builders usually talk about where the plywood is cut at a taper and joined so to keep the plywood the same thickness as if its one long piece.  This is what I'm calling a 'construction' scarf.  In home building if you're joining two boards in length you add another board along side it.  That added board is known as a scarf.

Here's the completed frame-1 (soda can for size perspective.)  You can clearly see the glue joint down the center. 

 Here's the back side, showing the two scarf boards.  Frame-1 supports the fore-deck which may have two people standing on it, so I chose to do the scarf the full width to make the top of frame-1 a more solid beam.

 This is the butt-joint of the two pieces with the scarf board over it.

The bottom, top, and sides were cut at angles to align to the hull and deck.  These are just approximate angles.  It all gets embedded in epoxy glue and fillets, so precise match of angles is not necessary.

Just for fun, I added a fillet and sanded round the ends of the scarf boards.

Frame-1 is the foot-end of the sleeping bunks.  I used a router to round over the sides and top of the inside of the frame so that bashing your toes is a little less painful.
