When we moved this spring my Wife asked if I wanted to get rid of my weights "because I never use them" I said NO WAY I need them for boat building .... I wonder what else I have lying around that I could use...

I've kept the weights, but the wife got rid of the bar! That hadn't seen use for a long time.

Pastor Bob, those old weights come in handy, and yes now my wife cant say I dont use my weights . Thats my kinda workout.

How are you doing Daniel?

Steve, sounds like I'm about the same place you are at, I have one side spliced of the long panels, there ready to flip tonight so I can splice the other side. I have most of my jig material may need a little more, need to inventory. Have you noticed everything takes about twice as long as you think it should, but slow and steady is fine as long as I get it done right I guess.

Daniel...I'm going to draw and cut the clamping boards this weekend. Last night I was trying to figure out at what height do you cut the bottom?? Do you base it off the motor well sides?? If so it looks to be around 16" or so (measuring from the top down). At what measurement did you cut them?? Thanks.

I'm trying to keep up with you and Steve...

Lower,
I extrapolated the clamping board measurement from the motorwell sides.
I have been wrong before mind.
what did you do Daniel?

I did the same as both of you, I took it from the motorwell sides. Before I glued the transom together I dry fited them together and it everything fit.
