: Hey All - I'm working on a Sea Ranger frame and would like some
: suggestions on a few things.

: The stem/stern blocks; how do you ensure that they are perfectly
: perpendicular to the keel with the boat still mounted in the
: strongback?

: The only/best approach I can see is to take the keel off of the
: mount and lay it on the floor and install from there.

: Any ideas?

: Eric

If the keel is flat, and it normally would be, and the cut end of the plywood was cut square, then the two will naturally be perpendicular. Any more is eyeballing it.
