Transom Frame is Complete

I've been a bit slack and haven't taken any photos yet,I will sort that out when I return to NZ.

Before leaving I completed the assembly of the transom frame.  I wrecked several more screws in the process, I had to drill and ezy-out a couple of them.  However by the end I wasn't wrecking screws any more.

This is also the first big test for the epoxy glue and so far I have no complaints.

I am pondering whether to glue the deck arches on just yet.  The plans say to do it when the ply skin is on, but lots of people have done it before.

I have also acquired a couple of sheets of ply to make my gussets and floor timbers.  So Frame assembly should progress fairly quickly over the next couple of weeks.
