Day 20 - In The Jig


By pnelson - Posted on 06 July 2003

I have the jig setup and the molds made. I have a question about spacing that I'll post to the Yahoo Tolman group. Sheet 5 shows 196" on the spacing but the jig is only 16' (192") long. That means I'm 4" short of getting the same spacing noted on the drawing. I think part of the problem is the use of "Stations". Station #3 and #6 are 60" apart. Station #8 1/2 is 50" aft of #6. So, does that mean that each station is 20" ? All I really need to know is the location of the last mold. It's labeled ("11 -2"). But where does it go? 118" aft of station #6? Yet the diagram on sheet 5 with the label "mold spacing" shows a mold right at the aft end of the jig. ???

I'm just a bit tired, hungry and thirsty. Not a good time to cut or glue anything. ;-) I'll think on this some and get it figured out.

Update: Yes the 16' jig is too short for the Jumbo. On sheet #6 Renn's plans show an extension that gives room for the last mold. Not a problem. I can add that and we're all set to start putting the boat together! ;-)
