Hello mahjong25 Its looking pretty good so far , the planking on this boat is tricky. After you fare the hull u can use a mixture of the sawdust and a 50/50 water glue mix to help with gaps in planking ad resand . Make sure to get the char off the inside the hull it wont pay nice with your finish.looking forward to seeing it progress Derek- 50 replies

Here it is all glued up tight , you can see the nuts in there new home .I will use these to mount the keel to the build board ,and later to mount to the base .

Welcome to MSW You can get planks from http://www.woodprojectsource.com/ they are one of the sponsors here at MSW. All the best Derek

I decided to put in the nuts to mount the keel assembly to my build board . first I ground down two sides of the nuts,using my dermal Then I clamp the false keel and keel together in the vise and drilled through the false keel , and approximately half way into the keel . using a 11 blade and files I cut out the recessed notch in the keel for the nuts to fit in flush I then added glue to the keel and applied the false keel to the keel covering the recessed nuts I used a couple of screws to assure alignment and clamped it all together to dry. thanks for for looking in Derek

Lol I think the press operator drilled your hull on a Monday after a rough weekend . As far as fixing I would just go with what you feel most comfortable with. And what ever you decide will look way better than it does now

Today I did the keelson and false keel . The keel is made of red oak the false keel is blood wood,and the keelson is cherry. i also rough cut the frames , all at once . I will go back and trim them up and sand them down one section at a time starting with 5 and working my way to c . Not for any special reason just the heading I have chosen . sooooo many pieces lol let the fun begin Derek

Shipyard was not very productive this week,work got in the way . But I did make a little progress I cut and shaped the keel. and i cut out the templates for the framing and started gluing them on a piece of 3/16 “x4”x24” red oak . i will finish gluing them them up today and start cutting them out on the scroll saw . I will wait to start gluing them until I go to the hardware store and pick up a few sheets of glass to ensure the frames are straight . thanks for looking in Derek
