Thanks, Jeff!

Will do.

Dave,

Thanks for clearing up my confusion! I figured one of two solutions would work, either extend the slot or shorten the tab/tenon. Shortening the tenon will provide more joint strength integrity.

That makes sense.

I had already checked, and the dry fit of tenon "B" fit well into its adjacent frame.

Thanks again!

Jack

Jeff,

Here are 2 photos. Sorry, I should have thought about including them in the initial post

I assume Tab “A” goes into Slot “C” and that Tab “B” goes
into the 10” form/frame.

Is this correct? If so, you can see that “A” doesn’t fit
into “C”, therefore my confusion.

Thanks!

Jack

Jeff,

I'm in the middle of cutting my forms for my Castaway. Am I mistaken, or is the slot on the plans for the top of the stern shorter than it should be? The tongue on the stern does not fit the slot. Should the slot be cut longer/deeper to the curved end of the stern top so it mates appropriately with the back of the stern? Thanks in advance for your answer.

Jack
