Building a boat skeleton 3

Attaching the transom to the rest of the backbone.
Two aft-most frame molds and transom, stabilized with temporary battens.
A starboard-side stringer has been attached to the transom; the port-side stringer remains to be attached.
Fastening a port-side stringer to the transom.
A stringer (tarred) has been added low on the starboard side; another stringer (held with C-clamps) is being being prepared just above it.
Two stringers have been added to the starboard side. The sheer clamp has also been installed, as two strips glued together, probably in order to accomplish extreme bends near the bow and stern. Many Jorgensen clamps are holding the strips tightly together until the glue dries.
Stringers (tarred) and ribbands (untarred, temporary) on the starboard side. Note that the deck beams have been installed or are ready to be installed.
Brian Saucier setting up to laminate deck beams, adjusting the laminating table to a plywood deck-beam pattern.
The third stringer up is a partial stringer.
