Today the jig is done, and two of the temporary frames are in place.  Other frames will be made when the Okumi plywood arrives, hopefully today or tomorrow.  The first shipment of plywood,the Meranti-Hydrateck, has arrived, fifteen sheets worth.Four very long stringers have been cut outof the new plywood.  Two are 17 feet long.Since the plywood is so pricey, it is "measure and then measure again" before cutting in order to waste as little wood as possible.
Now we are at a standstill until the Okumi plywood gets here.

The top picture is the jig and the bottom is the transom cut out.
