On to the hog. When I first got the plans, I had to look up just what the hog is. Now I can describe just what the hog is to just about anyone regardless of their boat building experience. The hog has two parts: a 1/2 inch plywood layer and a 1" by 5" Douglas fir piece. Together they run the length of the bottom of the boat. I rough cut the fir to fit the plywood pieces I got with the kit.
Gluing the plywood portion of the hog.
The portion of the stem that will underlie the inner stem.
I put blocks at each station to support the hog.
Using the image I saw in the plans, I added an piece to transform to hold the hog.
The hog clamped in place to the stations. Running from stem to stern.
The photo below shows the blocks I added to the edge of the stations that I'll use to hold the chines.
