Tonight I built the transom jig, which consist of two 2x6's at six feet long, four 2x4's at two feet long, and two 2x4 1/2's at two feet to put in the middle to bow the transom.
I attached the 2x4's on the jig with 3 1/2 inch screws and adjusted the space in-between the two 2x4's to allow for the bend.
The transom pieces were then cut out of 1/4" plywood in four different pieces to allow more plywood to be utilized for other parts. The smaller pieces are sandwiched between the two other normal size pieces. The transom pieces are cut to 22"x56". After everything is cured, the transom will be cut to its final size.
I then matched all pieces together to get them straight and put several screws through all of the layers to make sure they can't move when epoxied together.
The pictures show the transom in place on the jig, which I will leave overnight to help the plywood adjust to the bend. I will then epoxy them together tomorrow.
