Hi Don,
I'm sorry. According to the photos, you still use the wrong old drawings, so it is likely that the anchor chock on the left and right are confused. It is not your fault. I will re-process the damaged parts for you next time. But you must replace all old drawing with new ones. Print the new drawing, use the new assembly drawing, or correct the old drawing number with a pen according to the new drawing.

Perhaps the reason for the error is that the part marked with 'L' needs to match and align with the position of 'L' in the drawing. Before you fix it with glue, you need to pre-assemble it without glue first, and then glue it after checking it.
Don,
I hope you don't mind me chiming in on this, ( comment from a friend ) but you would be better placed to dissolve the glue and try again.
The parts are a perfect fit and you should not have any fitment issues.

I WILL WAIT ON CONTINUING ON WITH FRAME GLUE UP UNTIL I HERE FROM YOU GUYS. GOD BLESS STAY SAFE ALL DON

It looks good, although the photos are not very clear. I believe that as long as you check it and glue it carefully, you will not make mistakes, and it is possible to assemble a good result.

OKI A LITTLE UPDATE PLUS QUESTION FOR BRIAN AND DA HAI HERE I AM SHOWING ANOTHER FRAME PUT TOGETHER NO24F, I RE DID THIS ONE 2 TIMES BEFORE FINDING OUT WHAT WAS WRONG CAME OUT VERY WELL I THINK, IN A CONVERSATION WITH DA HE MENTIONED THE FRAMES BEING IN PLANE I REALLY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DECRIBE WHAT HE MEANS WILL TRY BTW HE SENT ME 3-D ON THIS BUT I WAS NOT ABLE TO DOWNLOAD THEM. HERE IS WHAT I THINKI HAPPENED ONE SIDE OF THE FRAME LIES FLAT ON THE JIG THE OTHER SIDE IS NOT SQUARE AND TENDS TO ROTATE, SO I MADE SURE I PLACED THE FRAME PARTS ON THE SQUARE SIDE FOR ALL PARTS DO NOT KNOW IF THIS WAS CORRECT BUT LIKE THE OUTCOME, I ALSO SHOW A PICTURE OF THE JIG AND IT HOLD DOWNS, IT SEEMS LIKE YOU CAN USE THIS PUTTING OTHER KIT FRAMES ON THIS WORKS VERY WELL FOR ME MUCH BETTER THEN MY METHOD OF USING PINS MUCH MORE ACCURATE THIS BASE WILL BE PART OF THE REGULAR JIG TO HOLD THE FRAMES IN PLACE. GOD BLESS STAY SAFE ALL DON
Thats looking good Don. The hold down clamps help keeping the frame flat.
ANOTHER FRAM THIS I AM SHOWING THE DETAIL WORK DONE BYN CNC, FANTASTIC DETAILS ALSO SHOWING FRAMES ON FRAME JIG LIKE BRIAN SHOWED ON HIS LOG. GOD BLESS STAY SAFE ALL DON
Good morning Don. A little off the subject. When ever I read your post I always think of the Farr racing yachts. I had the privilege of crewing on one in the early ‘90’s in an overnight race - was a brilliant experience. No relation to Bruce Farr I assume? Awesome job on those difficult frames BTW. Cheers Grant
SMAQLL UPDATE ALL FRAMES ARE COMPLETE AS TO WHAT WASW IN MY FIRST CHAPTER, TOOK A WHILE BUT GOT THERE, HAVE THE FASWHION PIECESW DA HAI IS SENDING ME SOME AS REVISEED. NOW DRY FITTING THE KEEL PIECES, IF BRIAN OR DA CAN COMENT I CAN GLUE THEM I THINK I GOT IT RIGHT ACCORDING TO DA PICTURES, ANDE ANOTHER USE OF THE JIGT HANDY TO SAY THE LEAST. GOD BLESS STAY SAFE YOU AND YOURS DON

Hi Don,
If only look from the photo, it seems that the left and right sides of the upper part are reversed?
The splice connector should be downward.
If you find this obvious mismatch, you need to check whether 1. the drawings or parts are wrong, 2. whether the assembly is wrong.
