I am starting to get a quite a few bulkheads and frames completed even though I probably only work maybe 8 to 10 hours a week on the pathfinder... |
| WOW!!! that was hard to cut with the Japanese saw. ... just kidding .. This is what was left over from a 12inch x 2 inch x 12 foot piece of African mahogany after milling my transom. I cut it in to manageable pieces then brought the wood to the shipyard wood shop where I work and planed and jointed and routed out the slot for the spline in each piece |

 |
I brought home the pieces and glued them up .. A few days later I unclamped and sanded......... |
| I cut out the transom with a pattern I had made from door
skin ..I then cut out the forward side doublers and in this picture I was
dry fitting them..... I have taken to JW's advice and run the
corners of the doublers through a table router with a round- over bit .... I
had to go in for dinner but the transom is ready for glue up and I hope to
do that this week sometime so it will be ready next weekend for
finishing....
I was not sure if my solid 7/8 th mahogany transom needed the doubler that is supposed to be at the top .. I will ask the designer |
