    Sorry to camp on your thread René. I can move it if you like. I wasn't thinking.

    What are you planning to do with your platform anyway?

    I am impressed with the timber fillet idea. Are they glassed over?

    They will be. It is a tad bit too cool to mess with resin right now.

    Thanks a lot for the idea. I am trying that as it is a bit of an overlap between more traditional timber framed plywood construction with modern stitch and glue, where it eliminates the stitch and most of the glue.

    A work platform for heavy loads, and high loads randomly placed.

    Actually, the idea came from @DogCavalry. That is how he built his Texas sled. But, you're welcome. Anything to make life easier is worth the trick.

    Ok, well, that will come in handy for building things on the water. Very nice!

    Fillets cleaned up and transom has been cut on the starboard side to match the port side. My radius was off roughly 5/8".

    On the lighter side of things, my dog, Bella Mae does like beer. She is something else.

    A little more done. Reinforcement for the backseat backrest and a rib. More ribs to follow.
