I want to start by clearing up something. I have received a lot of suggestions, comments, ideas, etc. about how to fix the problem with lashing all the stingers at once. Obviously I was not clear in my last post because I don’t see a problem. I used to be concerned about ‘What if’ a lashing broke, but in all the boats I have built I have never had a lashing fail. So, there is no need to glue the sinew. Tie of a knot between the lashings or any other fail safe. It should work just fine the way I have done it. So everyone calm down and stop worrying. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Now, back to business. I finished lashing the frame today.It is ready to come off the strongback but I was tired and didn’t want to fool with it. And it is easier to do some things with it still tied down.<\/p>\n

When I quit tonight I had 27 hours of labor into the frame. Materials costs are around $160. As I said in my last post this price is close but will change a bit. I had a lot of the materials in my shop and I have to check on current prices and adjust these.<\/p>\n

Speaking\u00a0 of costs, I ran out of sinew and had to ‘buy’ a second roll. I started with an open roll so I probably could have gotten by with one roll. But most people use to much and end up buying a second roll. so that was included in the cost. But I bet I didn’t use more than 30′ off the second roll.<\/p>\n

\"ss-4\"<\/a> \"ss-5\"<\/a>I ran into a problem at the stern. The keel decided that it wanted to do an impression of a banana. It was causing the stern to twist out of alignment. It wasn’t to hard to push it back into shape but I was concerned it would, over time it would get out of alignment. I decided the simplest way to stop this was to insert a couple of dowels through the stringer and into the frame. This would keep it from sliding around and twisting out of shape. Then I lashed it all together as normal.<\/p>\n

This will not fix with all alignment issues but it was a good solution for this one. Here are a couple of photos. And just to be clear, I DO NOT recommend this for all joints. There is no reason to do it unless you just have an unruly stringer as I did.<\/p>\n

\"ss-6\"<\/a> \"ss-7\"<\/a>After these photos were taken, the dowel was cut flush and the joint was lashed as normal.<\/p>\n
