slowly bringing into shape

The shape is finally starting to come along.  The temporary center frame is in place (perhaps temporarily), and I have loosely wired in the stern frame.  The forward frame is under construction as well as the transom. I am hoping that this weekend I can get it all squared up and lock it all in place.

After a couple of hours, I was finally able to get these two forms to horn in accurately at each corner.  The problem was that the bottom panel was 1/4" too far aft.  I used a block of wood and a mallet to persuade it forwards, then reattached the forms til even.  Today, I will finish the forward frame and get the whole thing level prior to installing the transom.  Hope to be able to begin locking the boat together this week.
