CNC cutting would be the only option for me if that were the case. To complicate things the ground is not perfectly flat. I checked with a hose pushed into duty as a water level. One end of the jig is 100mm higher than the other. That's about 1.5 degrees off horizontal. The strongback is as level as I can get it on the ground like it is, and I will make first measurements off that, and then adjust the frames so they are lined up. Hoping for +-3mm everywhere if I can get it. Photo of the first attempt. I quickly decided that was too high and lowered the frames 20cm so I can reach the keel. Room to get around it will be tight. |
