But the good news is I left class with the frame assembly (sans sheer clamps) complete! Yay! more

The first thing I did was trim the top of the transom to make it smooth. Then I spent quite a lot of time rasping out the notch in the keelson for the transom. The problem is that I had measured and cut it as though the transom is square to the transom while in fact the transom is at a 15º angle to the keelson. As I was rasping and measuring, Rollin noticed that the keelson has a twist in it. Something in the way the wood is drying? (I since have remembered my comment when buying the “green” fir back in February) I sanded off the joint with the stem to compensate. I attached the frame reinforcing block to the keelson. Then the twist in the wood became very obvious (must not like gorilla glue). We put the keelson and transom on the table and Rollin rigged a set up to take out the twist. Some long clamps as a moment arm with a counterweight (my jig saw) for torque. Meanwhile I put tap holes and countersunk the holes in preparation for screwing the transom to the transom knee. more

First thing I did was haul all the pieces into the workshop. I laid out the frame on the pattern and realized that because my jigsaw broke I had not yet cut out some of the notches in the frame. So I cut out the notches. Also the top pieces of the transom frame needed to be fitted. I cut them to fit with the band saw.

Bob is kind of a wood-shop teacher’s aid. We talked about how to shape the keelson. The plans say, “Now set the keelson with its centerline on the centerline of the bottom plank and shape its lower fore end to fit the upward sweep of the bow. Be sure the lower edge of the keelson stays in full contact with the plywood” Okay?! I figured I would just start hacking at the front end of the keelson until it fit. Bob came up with the idea of making a template first. So we found a narrow length of plywood and I cut it to 78″, the length of the keelson. I then started band-sawing away bits until it followed the shape of the hull. I was expecting to be able to shape it so that it just dropped into place. but because of the curve of the bow and the slump of the hull over the saw horses, that never happened. I did get the template to follow the bow curve quite well. I then started hacking away at the keelson. But class was over before I was able to finish. Fortunately, I’ll be able to do this at home. But I think I will buy a plane, hand tool speaking. It was a good class.

I think the Minimost would be an excellent carrier for this little gem of an outboard. [links]

I can tell you must be a good builder, by looking at the sawhorse you built to support your outboard for display!

Archery is a unique activity that has been practiced as both a sport and skill of hunting and warfare for thousands of years. Advances in technology in recent years have led to the design and creation of bows that can shoot great distances with astounding accuracy. Because of the incredible balance, technique and precision that goes into shooting a bow, it is essential that the bow itself be tuned to meet the specific attributes of the archer wielding it. Adjusting the firing mechanisms of a modern compound bow is as simple as a few turns of a wrench and getting a feel for the exact weight you need. here
