Progress

Well the title is progress... And yes we are progressing! Always too slowly, but hej-ho! Just keep going...
We got a nice picture...

But only because we pulled the transom... Not a pretty sight behind that, rotten and messy. We needed to replace a bit of the "keel" running to the transom and a knee. But thankfully the hood-ends were all in good shape.

The tarnsom was built with an inner and outer - the inner you can see what is left of it! The outer looks ok - but we will be making new.

The plan is to laminate up from 7mm ply, then a veneer...
The knee was fun to play with, got to use the chain-saw again ;-)

As you can see, my "helper" strolled back after I was finished with the noisy tools. Then some finer shaping...

And eventually it fitted back in place.

Then it wa stime to scarf in some new wood under it, while Oscar welded up a ring frame to support the new transom... Pictures to come when all is fitted.
