Hope i am doing all this correct, it is my first build log. First time i worked on a wooden ship sites like this did not exist. This will not be a fast build, my wife will be having back surgery and the grandkids have just moved closer, so please bear with me. I do plan on getting the grandkids a model for them to work on as well, fingers crossed on that one.
I have just finished with the dry fit and have now glued bulkhead frames to the keel.
Hope you guys like what you see as I move along. I am very much looking forward to seeing my progress as well.

Bruce,
I was sent to this site by someone in a reddit group who suggested that I do just that. I am reading a few posts then I will start investigating how to start a log.

A silly question on my build.
I have sanded my bulkhead frames to be level with the keel. However, in a video i purchased along with the kit, not specific to the actual kit, they seem to imply that i need sand bow to stern to get the keel level across its length. I say imply as they do not state that but the guy on the video does run his sanding block the full length of the ship.
I have attached a picture of the ship with a straight edge to show the bow of the keel. Looking for advice as i do not think this should be sanded.
Like i said, a silly question.
Thanks in advance.
Doug
