Thanks for the advice, I'm not discouraged about it, I'm learning a lot already and enjoying it. I know that it is not going to be perfect because I'm learning but this first step I probably worked a little too fast. Biggest issue is trimming things too much, as I've read in other places, its easy to take more wood off, hard to put more back on.
I need to decide what I am going to do if I'm going to continue with this keel or switch over to the other keel. I took the other 4 keel pieces and test fit them, everything fits fine with no issues. My biggest concern is at the joint on the stern of the ship it looks a little funny. Looking through Chucks build log it looks like the top will be covered so I might be over thinking it. The gap on the vertical joint might be a little too much. Also looking at these pictures close up helps show the little areas that still need a touch of cleanup.
I also am thinking through how I am going to keep the 1/32 rabbet throughout the length of the keel. I'm going to have to think about that for a bit before gluing.
