Now that the aft bench bulkhead has been fibreglassed in place, it is time to make a start on building the framework for the side benches. Fitting the upper rail to the same curve as the side of the hull as requested by the owner has he wishes to keep the same curves throughout the inside of the boat.
Clamping down the second rail into position and marking out the width and depth the aft end of the rail needs to be set in position and the same at the forward end
The forward end will have a block fixed to the thwart on its aft face and a cutout made to fix the forward end in place.
Once these rails are in position then the lower rails will be made and fixed in position and the vertical posts with be made to fit between the upper and lower rails to give the framework its strength and the plywood panels will have some where to be fixed too.
