We have a new member joining the team helping out around the yard and he has a project of his own going on.  Finn will be doing various jobs, and when he's not on duty he'll be working hard on restoring his own boat, a 41ft ferro oyster smack.  This means he understands the pit falls and joys of boat restoration! 
Finn is sharing his restoration project to inspire others and his photos and journey can be found on Instagram 'knotFINNishedYet.  Well worth a look.

removing rusty studding from transom supports
1 Make a long hole saw the bore being the od of the bolt file teeth on the end of a suitable steel tube.
or
2 drill across close to deck just in front of stud, fit a hacksaw blade into a jigsaw and cut through stud.
or (easiest)
3 cut down with an electric reciprocating hand saw just in front of and just behind the studding, use a metal cutting blade.

I used number 1 to remove rusted in keel bolts from a kestrel sail boat replaced them with slightly thicker bolts, minimum damage to keel, a bit time consuming.
