Is there a more affordable alternative to the Keel Klamper?
Looking to get something (make?) that'll hold the ship in place while working on it.
Thank you

I'm soaking a plank so as to bend it easier. How long should I let it soak?
If I'm going to attach it tonight (8pm) how soon before should I take it out of water?

Where does everyone store there build when they're not working on it? We don't have the luxury of leaving the ship build and it's items just sitting out in the open so need some ideas on storing it all in one place.
Any suggestions would be cool.
Thanks

Good advice. A couple follow up questions:
1-What is this tool used for anyway? Or is it just a failed idea for a tool?
2-My plank nails are .5mm in diameter. What diameter drill bit and drill would you recommend?
Thanks

Probably a dumb question but how do you use this tool?

Wife and I are still trying to figure out how to use this in getting nails in planks. More accurately, into planks and then frame.

Zambocknee,
As for the small multi-colored clamps at Harbor Freight. Alligator clips at Walmart. They are inexpensive. The clamps were 10 dollars for about 25 of them.
Don't know where you live, but this is all in the USA.

Harbor Freight and Walmart I can do. thanks Cap'n

Zamboknee,
Just click on my Steam Launch under my signature and you see what I did. It was basically the situation you have.

Where'd you get those mini-clamps/alligator clamps?

How do I see your build log?You can go here on my build log and see what I did. nails and rubberbands.

Would wetting this piece affect the integrity of the glue that's already holding the planks to the deck? Also, would the rubber bands leave indentations in the wet deck?If you are going to use the existing piece, wet it thoroughly on top before gluing and adding rubber bands.
