I have just glued up the third keel frame on the floor jig as the first and second frames produced this way are a good fit to the stringers. Because the frame is glued up square to the jig and the gap between the stringers tapers a taper has to be planed or filed onto the edge of the frame for a perfect fit. The taper is negligible near the keel where the maximum strength is required and the manufacture of the frames on the floor is most convenient.
