Woke up early, started mounting the last couple of stanchions, didn't get them all done because I had to do some special treatment to #22 (the bow) to get it on just right. got everything mounted though except for that one. I also spent 30min anchoring all the frames to the dowel rods, tried to use wood glue and spring clamps but the clamps kept slipping from not enough pressure and the glue was just really slick, so after fighting with that for a while, (the frame/dowel placement is what makes everything square vertically) I finally just grabbed some 1'' deck screws and pinned the frames in place from each side (I realize now that I don't have a picture of this, so I'll put one up tomorrow) worked really well, all the frames are "dead nuts" square and don't move at all. I mounted the final bow stanchion and trimmed the dowels on my way out the door but didn't have time to snap any pictures, I'll post some first thing tomorrow of the finished mould skeleton.
