Jinnie - Episode 7: Transom: Part 2

Episode 7 of Jinnie’s restoration series is here! ⚒️ In this episode, Alan takes us deeper into the careful process of fitting Jinnie’s newly restored transom. Every angle, measurement, and shaving of wood matters as he explains how the transom must fit perfectly into the rest of the boat — especially where it joins the hog. You’ll see: • How Alan gradually adjusts the transom to achieve the correct angles • The specialist hand tools he uses — and why sharp tools are essential • The challenges of fitting old and new timber together • How the transom was carefully dropped in by removing nails and roves and wedging the ribs open • The surprising pieces of original timber that were still strong enough to save This episode is a brilliant look at the mathematics and craftsmanship behind traditional boatbuilding, where precision makes all the difference.
