Transom

On Tuesday, Me and Harrison were lineing up the transom only the bottom and trying to get it glued by the end of the day.

The Transon  had to be on a 10 dagree angle to the station.
Getting the 10 dagree angle was abit of thinkin to do before we can line it up to the station with the correct measurements.
Once we found out the angle for the transom we put some rails to keep the angle into place and to reinforce the holding of the transon.

Before the glueing proccess took place i had to bevel the fassion peaces on the transom in order to fit with the bottom. the beveling proccess took me about 30mins to do, the reason why it took me so long was because its my 1st time beveling transon and i did not want to make any mistakes on it.

After the beveling was done on the transom we places it back into place and dry clamped it down to see how the joints looks like. Once the joints looks good we drilled some screws into the bottom of the boat to connect it to the tanson before glueing. Once we did that we started to glue the transom onto the bottom and the proccess of the glue to glue takes around 24 hours to come to full affect.
