Jig assembly

Ok today I made some pretty good progress; my intentions were to get up this morning and go get the lumber for the jig assembly. I was at the lumber yard as soon as it opened, which was 10am today its Sunday. They had all the lumber I wanted so I purchased and headed back to the shop. I also made several other trips back to the lumber yard today fortunately its only 2 blocks away. I needed some lag bolts to screw the jig frame to my concrete shop floor and also some wood screws for the assembly of the jig. For the most part all went pretty smooth assembling the jig but it took most of my day. I measured and then re-measured everything to be sure that it was square and solid according to the plans.

I had some time at the end of the day and wanted to hang my transom that was finished and ready. That took me a couple more hours squaring and centering and making sure the angle was correct. I needed a couple of clamps that were over 10 inches but did not have any today and wanted to get this in place today. So I hesitantly put a couple of screws through the transom to secure it in place for all the planning I will have to plane the top of transom to get the correct angle it needs. I figure I can resin the holes shut and it will not be a problem I plan to paint the boat anyway so they will not be seen.

Attached some more pictures with some close ups of the angle of the transom and my Jig assembly.
