our job so far

Chris and I checked the glue was still tacky in the morning so it's true that it takes 24hours to go off. We went to workshop and saw CNC machine operating. We've got 16 frames including A.P and F.P. If we didn't have CNC this time, it would takes roughly 1 day for lofting with table offset and batten. The machine has such simple orders and operating system so it needs only a 3.5inch floppy disk. I rememeber CAD/CAM class which I had in Korea, the exam of simple orders as well. We use MDF for frames and because of the suction system under the material, CNC doesn't make a hole on it. We need to finish with using router.

Tapu, Lance and I drew the grid for hull as same as the one for deck we did yesterday and then we tried to estimate how many planking we need for long ones about 5.5m, which was quite difficult. Anyway, we decided to order a big one and Chris said he will order 2 more for just in case.

Andrew told me that peelply is temporary and helps epoxy can spread evenly on the fiberglass otherwise it has lumps on it.

We have to make sure which side the spalls set on. In our case, it doesn't matter for deck frame but they have to be swapped for hull frame. It depends on the bevel side and because of the change of the shape of hull or deck it has to be changed.

After that, we set up frame 3 at first but prior to doing that we have to check the height of the floor using theodolite. Each frame has its own measurement which is marked on it and the height from floor to the mark has to be same. Floor at A.P side is about 6mm higher than that of F.P so we used wedges to level the frames
