Sheer Clamps, Part 1: The sheer clamps were extended by another 2 feet or so then cleaned up and the interior edges were routed for a smooth finish. The pieces are 1"+ X 2" high X about 26' long.
The aft end of the sheer was sawed on the boat. These were clamped into position and a temporary 3" screw used to hold the aft end in place. It was then clamped to the blocks affixed to the temporary frames.
The sheer was fastened at the transom with the temporary screw after gluing. Liberal WD40 was applied to the screw so it would release from the epoxy. The next morning, the temporary screw was removed, and it was re-drilled for the permanent 3 1/2" X 14 bronze screw.
The miter and attachment to the stem will complete this task.
