Frame No 3

Vacation. Finally. Frame no 3 assembled with 3 kids. Who says that boats can not be built with them :-)? The plan is to do one frame a day during the Xmas time. It is not much, but when you cook, play with kids and do everything else, it is OK. CHS Epoxy 1200, 70g/frame.

It takes 4 people to assemble Frame No3 :-) The youngest is <2 y.o. and helps driving screws!
I have also tested the okoume plywood by boiling a piece in water for 1 hour. And both the wood and the glue survived. It is just exterior B class, which I intend to use only on the inside parts of the boat: gussets, bulkheads etc. But also outside planking if I do not get marine AA in the lumberyard.
