I have purchased some epoxy glue from EPG and decided to do some trials with it. So I glued two pieces together and left them for a week. I then beat the crap out of it with a rubber mallet. The wood broke in several places, but not the glue. I then tried the same thing with Gorolla glue, almost as good but eventually a part of the glue broke.
I have cut out several more frame pieces, and am closing in on completing that phase so for a change I decided to work on the transom, and started to cut out the notches for the bottom battens. Slipped with my newly sharpened chisel, and cut my finger, a nice clean cut so there was coupious amounts of blood. Sorted that out and finished the notches on one side. Will do the notches on the other side tomorrow and then glue the transom bottom laminations together.
I also played around with the hole sizes for Pre-drilling the nail holes. Determined that I need to buy a new set of drill bits.
