I simply used some Contact Cement and Super glue to attach the Pin to the Pintle.

Rudder
As I was working on the Transom, I realized I had to Shape the Rudder to fit in the hole.
This was from a fairly blank piece of wood, which I shaped with the Notches for where the Rudder Pintles will be.
Rudder
I’m finally getting around to attaching the Rudder. I’ve been delaying it until I finished most of the “on my lap” parts. Which means, I would work on it on my lap.
I’m going to first take the thickness of the Rudder down a bit… Perhaps by 3/4 of its size to start before attaching the Rudder Pintles.
I can’t really put the Gudgeons on the Stempost beforehand.
I’m making these Pintles out of this laser cut sheet of brass. Then I stuck a #18 Wire in there to act as the Pin that will fit in the Gudgeons that glue into the Stern Post.
Deadwood
Attaching the Deadwood with the Rudder will eventually attach to.
I needed this on before proceeding any further since I need to both work on it and make my measurements with it in place.
I will eventually be taking a lot of wood off from it. Since the Planking will go over it, I need to thin it put to compensate for it.
I’ll take off approximately 1/2 off the thickness of the Deadwood.
Then, after I install the Planking, I’ll be able to sand it down so the thickness will be even with the Rudder.
