Bulkheads

Pipes welded in place to spread the hull open.

We build a simple frame that hangs in the boat from the gunnels or top edge of the hull.  And we weld on angle and flat bar to form a template of the hull that can then be used to transfer the measurements onto the steel.  The flat bar makes a better template because it can be cut and bent to conform better to the hull plate.

Bulkhead template frame resting in the hull and
angle iron tacked to measure were the cargo
forward cargo hold bulkhead will be installed.

Kay transferring template points to the steel.   A better bulkhead template that uses flat bars. Bulkheads looking aft. Bulkheads looking forward.
