Stringers

Lots of work here. The photos show from this to this. I ripped the planks then put them through the machine. And it's called a thicknesser?!!. More like a thinesser. I have about 5 times this amount to do for stringers.

Thicknesser and shavings
50mm planks

20mm planks

Transom

Been over a week on the transom. Shaping up well though. The centre square section folds out over the back for a fish table. Garbage will be outside the boat. It is 900 above the cockpit sole so a good working height.

Station #9

"The road goes ever on" as Bilbo Bagging stated. The ninth station is up. Now working on the transom.
Cockpit floor to the transom top is too high at 1200mm. Thinking of a fold down / out of about 250mm. It would also make as suitable fish cleaning table. Assuming there are any left when Spindy is launched that is. Open to other ideas.
