Not Enough Daylight

Arghhh!  Why does the day have to end?  We have the jig built and I was ready to start mounting the frames when I realized that I will need to build a measuring form to ensure that I am mounting them at the proper height.  Anyone have any ideas on this one?  I intend to build a simple "T" out of 2 x 4's and mark off the frame heights to align them properly.  I'll hold the "T" upside down and clamp the frame pieces to it temporarily.  Once the measurements are in place I will put temporary screws into the frame supports to hold the frames in place.  I'm so tired.  I woke up at 3AM this morning because I wasn't feeling well and I've been up ever since.  Tomorrow is another day.  I can't wait to make more progress.

P.S. I want to thank Jim Weaver and Keith Jones of Weaver Boatworks for being so kind.  Those guys are great.  They have been very helpful by cutting the frames on the CNC router.
