Cosa tratta questo video
Louis Sauzedde constructs the transom framework for the boat Orca, focusing on the assembly of vertical frames to the bottom structural piece.4:03 To ensure structural integrity, Sauzedde employs an overlap joint rather than a deep slot, which preserves the strength of the bottom timber.4:17 He cuts a slight angle into the joint, creating a mechanical lock that tightens if the transom sustains an impact.5:35 The assembly process involves fastening the components with number 24 bronze wood screws, requiring the framework to be tipped on edge to allow for sufficient force during installation.2:42 Sauzedde leaves the vertical frames intentionally long to accommodate future beveling, which he plans to determine by fitting the next hull section or using a bevel board technique.12:19 A temporary cross-brace stabilizes the perimeter until the cedar planking is applied, at which point the structure will gain permanent rigidity.18:36 The project concludes with the framework ready for the installation of the cedar planks.19:37
