Teasea Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 Building a Ravenswood I hope you can help me I have two frames marked 1'0".How do I mount both frames in the same position. These are the stern frames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY_Rocking_Chairs Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 I think this is correct: but the top piece is the frame for the boat. The bottom piece is the bracket that gets mounted to the strong-back and supports the keel. The frame then sits on top of the keel and can use a clamp to hold the frame to the bracket while build up the rest of the boat. The hole in the center of the bracket is so a string can be passed through all the brackets and they can be aligned on the strong-back. Take a look at the first pic in this post: Can see how the "brackets" get screwed to a 2x4 board running perpendicular to the strongback. The keel then runs through the brackets and the frames get clamped to the brackets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kudzu Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 Not trying to be a smart aleck but all this is covered in the assembly manual. It contains a lot of information including the answers to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benhardt57 Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 I recommend investing in a pair of scissors. Just kidding. I guess your jagged edges were from your jig saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasea Posted November 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 Just got home from work and had a read I still cannot see where I mount the 2 frames that are 1’0, if the frame mounted on the strong back is fixed at 1 foot and you measure from the same point the frame that makes the stern assembly must be 11 1/2 inches or 12 1/2 inches from the common measuring point. If I still have it wrong could you assit with chapter and verse in the manual please cheers TC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benhardt57 Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 Measure all your brackets to their back face. Then fasten the coresponding frame front faces to them. Front face to back face. That's how they share the same planes. The relation between the end of your strong back and the end of your kayak is not critical.
