Transom
Transom knee
Inner Stem
A recess had to be made in each mould so the hog could fit in
First planks, just put in position to see how it looks like
same from the front
all three planks laminated and put in position
use some scrap to make sure the hog is paralel
back view
And here it is: one naked hog!
The worst part: Bevelling the astern side
Portside ready
Master at work
Both sides bevelled right

Transom drawing
make 6 planks
glue them together with a thin batten in the middle
copy the dimensions from drawing and draw the curved line along a thin
batten
and saw, under an angle, to minimalize the beveling once on the building jig.

I am affraid I over-did it a little. The transom knee is considerably
stronger than neccesery. But it looks good!
Transom knee in pieces (three pieces of 5cm massive iroko fit together)
Two SS rods and a lot of epoxy to hold them together

first three strips, glued together and pressed against a mould
The stem after 5 strips have been laminated
Looks already like a stem
And there goes the next strip (one each day)
In the beginning I tried to laminate two strips at the same time, however without succes. You
need a few extra hands to get them in position. At the end one of the two
strips broke. From now on I do one strip each time.
with 8 strips

Now comes a tricky part: making a recess for the hog to fit in. I
wonderfully saw out the this recess I thought. However this was a major mistake.
I cut off the wrong part. In the picture below you can see that I first saw out
the upper part. It should have been the lower part.
My big mistake.
So now I had to cut of the other part as well
And make a recess in the stem
In which I could fit an other part
To get the hog and stem together.
And now the beveling job starts, the better work-out.
