Welcome all to my latest installment in the building of a Hankinson design Barrelback 19..........

April 2012 April has seen the completion of the majority of the frames. I decided to remake the worst of the two sections that were warped, but there's still one frame that's bugging me because it isn't perfectly straight. Everyone from the forum seems to think I'll be able to bend it straight again once it's attached to the motor stringers.

May 2012 May has seen the development of the building form, and the completion of the transom inner framing and all but one remaining frame. Frame #6 is 75% completed, but it appears I failed to order just ONE piece of timber in my monthly order to complete the remaining two frame sections! It will have to wait until next month.....

Seeing the form together and mounted on its wheels, was too much of a temptation NOT to lay most of the frames out on some scrap wood........it's sort of a boat shape!
