This is the complete process for the installation of the starboard clamp...
First up is the planing of the shear along the top so that it fits snug under the covering board...
Looking along it you can see the curve of the shear, A piece will be glued to the bottom to retain a constant depth. It is not possible to edgeset a board this deep.
The rear now has to be backed out for the heads of the fastengs so that the clamp lies tight onto the tops of the ribs.In the foreground, but on the other side is a scarf ready for the next clamp forward when we get to it. Clamp is also primed before instalation..
Finally epoxy glued to the scarf exiting from the rear engineroom bulkhead. Use a single screw at forward end to support the weight untill the 1/2 in copper bolts are installed...
Later the 2 part shelf will be glued on and bolted thru to support the deck beams...
New end on one of the deck beams epoxy glued on.
