First Day ... Cutting the Transom

Our first day on the job ... a view from the Darlington Boat Builder's Guild Barn, otherwise known as Tim's Barn

 Tim is the brave one who takes the first cut into the $118 plywood

  He's very slow and methodical

Notice the steadiness of his brush strokes

Blue is a pain in the a__. Comes out thick and slow.

Dave is doing a great job watching.

Tim is dressed like he knows what he's doing. Carhardt was smart. Dave and I both got glue on our jackets. Note to self: don't wear ravens gear when building a boat.

Screwing the plywood together

 Fixing the bad cuts by sanding the two pieces. We made our first mistake by cutting the transom and glueing the wrong sides to each other. They weren't a perfect fit.
