Day 21 - Shelf 45's

I only had an hour or so to work so I extended the jig and then made the 45 degree 1/2" plywood braces that go with the shelves into the transom. Tomorrow I'll true up the jig again and then mount the transom and bow stem.

I did make some decisions about where bulkheads will be. With the front cabin aft bulkhead at station #6 you have a big 7' forward cabin but add a 6' day cabin to that and there just is not much boat left. I do want to have at least a 6' day cabin so we can get at least one more bunk up there. Brian Dixon had discussed with Renn moving the forward bulkhead 6" forward of station #6. I measured that out and it still gives plenty of room in the forward berth. That's what I'll do as well. So I rounded off the inside corners of the shelves from this point forward. I left the rest as-is as I may want to add additional support under the shelves in the aft part of the boat.
