Building the JIG....

Author's (Peter Miller) build article simply said "Build the Jig" without any additional info on how to do it and looking at other's build which doesnt show how they made their jig either....

So had to come up with my own way and am showing it how I did it step by step here. (Comments or Suggestions on better/quicker way other than mine is WELCOME to post here)

#1. Finding my own "Datum" line, wanting to have bottom of the hull parallel to the jig. Keel between F3 and F8 is straight so chose to use that. (Pic 1)

#2 Using 3 1/2" wide by 1/2" thick Popular wood board as Jig material. (Pic 2)
