Time to have a go at filling the big hole underneath the transom!!
Firstly I did the usual of cutting templates and gluing them onto the wood making sure that the grain was running in the right direction. Then just a rough shaping out.
Then I needed to work out the angle between the transom and the last frame which is just under 90 degrees. I don't know how everyone else works out there angles but I use a sliding bevel. After gluing all of the bits together this allowed me to then sand the top of the piece but I forgot to take a photo??
My next problem was working out how to sand the rear of the piece but at the same time keeping it square to the front face. In the end I used double sided tape and a metal block which did the trick
To get the correct shape I used a combination of scribing and taking measurements from the plans. It had to be a good sliding fit into a tricky shaped hole!
So now that the piece fits I need to roughly shape the outside and then cut out a recess on the inside of the hull. I suspect that the inside will be the harder of the two jobs.
