Here is my attempt at a build log. I missed the apparently customary box opening pictures but luckily remembered to snap a few pictures as I progressed over the weekend.
Laminating the keel and dry fitting the jig. This was really straightforward.
Assembling the jig. Everything just about fit out of the box. Only very minor adjustments required.
Jig mostly complete.
Following the advice in previous build logs, I used the #11 to score the rabbet and bearding lines, then used a curved blade to carve out the bulk of the material. A 1/16" square file was then used to finish the rabbet to a uniform depth and shape.

Needs a light sanding and should be ready.
