lesson learned.

usual practice is to do a dry fit befroe gluing up. its one reason for
using screws, they can be removed and reinserted. so you fit the pieces
together, sand protruding edges, then take them apart, apply glue, and put
them back together again. I just make a plywood backrest for my 4 year old
Loonie one sheeter. Cut out and fit, installed dry and tried out on
dry land, adjusted, then refit, before gluing up and painting.


OK, here are my choices:

1. Taper the bow center frame more so its front end more nearly
matches the height of the sides at the bow point, or,

2. Add more height to the stringers along the top of the sides near
the bow by gluing a very long wedge shaped piece to the stringer.

Suggestions?
