Layout and jigging

Yesterday I exchangd the 5/8 for 3/4. Schnitzer steel was cool about it. I spent last night laying out the bottom rtails and jigging them together ar the appropriate angles. It was slow, timeconsuming work but peaceful and somewhat relaxing. I guess I understand the people who build ships in a bottle a little better now.

Also, my buddy Dean has offered up his engine hoist and stand for me to use. That's going to be a big help.

Tonight I should do some more layout and maybe I can start tack welding this weekend.
